What the petition asks
Following the EU referendum. The main parties have changed. How can we - the electorate - be sure that the new Prime Minster or members of the cabinet or shadow cabinet represent us in the EU negotiations?
The UK people should decide who leads our negotiations and should set the UK agenda and priorities.
It would be unfair if the UK people do not get a say on who leads the negotiations. It would also be unfair if we have no say on the agenda or direction our country has to take following the EU discussions.
