What the petition asks

Hold a general election before artical 50 is triggered.
The British people have made their views known on Brexit, however given the fact that the leaders of both the leave and the remain campaign refuse to accept responsibility for the resulting complexities, all political parties of this country need to clearly declare their intentions going forward, and hold a general election before artical 50 is triggered.
