Petition · past parliament

Call a new general election, because the leaders are no longer in-situ.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe that many of the people who we voted for or against are now no longer in authority, many others have shown their hands during the EU referendum and are no longer the people we thought they were. We need the opportunity to choose who represents us during Brexit.

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
