Petition · past parliament

In view of the lack of leadership I call for an early General Election.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

As it would seem there was no plan in place to leave the EU a general election will give all political parties the opportunity to explain in clear and unambiguous terms what they will do in regards the in out referendum.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Call a snap general election now that the UK have voted to leave the EU
