Call a General Election in advance of initiating the process of exiting the EU

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Since the referendum the PM has resigned, HM opposition appears to be falling apart and Scotland is calling for a referendum on splitting the UK. The majority of the public have lost confidence in the government to lead in such dangerous times and demand an immediate GE to legitimise HM government.
Look around, ask people open questions and listen carefully to open answers. If you are genuinely interested you will understand that the will of the people is to fix our own government before we start fixing other people's.
