Hold a General Election after David Cameron's resignation date.

What the petition asks
The public are well aware that General Elections are only held every 5 years due to the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2011, but as the British public voted to leave the EU, a General Election should be held in 2016. No 2015 manifesto planned on a UK out of the EU, so another election should be held.
