Petition · past parliament

Following the EU referendum give UK voters a General Election.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament is sovereign in the UK. It is apparent that we do not have a government that can push through or reject the nation's referendum results. For the UK Conservative party to choose the next government at this momentous time is not good enough for the country. The country needs to decide.
