What the petition asks
This petition is to demand that a general election be held when the Prime Minister David Cameron steps down as Prime Minister. It is not right that a different Conservative candidate be given this position of power without winning a general election.
It is only fair to the people of the United Kingdom that we be allowed a general election to elect our new Prime Minister when Mr Cameron officially leaves his post.
