What the petition asks
The 2015 Conservative manifesto contains no provisions for the event of a Brexit. This Government no longer has a mandate from the people as it was not elected on the basis of its ability to negotiate a Brexit: a huge constitutional change that will resonate for decades. An election is needed.
