Petition · past parliament

A 2016 general election due to a new conservative mandate post Brexit vote

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The party that was voted for in 2015 has changed so much since 2015, the change of prime minister and the upcoming mandate of the government has changed so considerably as to require a vote from the general public.
David Cameron was voted in on the premise of a pro EU party, the change of prime minister nullifies the vote that was made by the people in 2015.

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
