Petition · past parliament

Call an immediate general election given the uncertainty since the EU Referendum

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned believe that only a publicly elected Prime Minister should negotiate our position within the EU. Party manifestos must clearly spell out their future actions including, if necessary, ignoring the result of the recent EU Referendum if it is best for the future of the UK.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Call a snap general election now that the UK have voted to leave the EU
