Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Our government have gambled our country's future and security and lost. We now face a time when we need strong leadership to oversee the complex legal situation and monumental change afoot. We demand a UK general election by the end of 2016 as our government are clearly not fit for this purpose.
Following the result of the EU referendum the UK now faces an extremely turbulent time. The Prime Minister has resigned and there doesn't appear to be a credible successor fit to face the unprecendented challenges ahead. This is a time when we need strong and clear leadership. We demand that the U.K. must now hold a general election by the end of 2016 to decide our leaders for the very difficult and challenging times ahead.
