If there is a no vote of confidence in Theresa May, call a general election

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe a general election would benefit the UK. The conversatives have made it clear they do not back Theresa May as a PM nor her BREXIT deal. We want a general election, not another Tory in power who has got the job as Prime minister without being voted in by the people of the UK.

Why it was rejected

Automatic general election on change in the leadership of the governing party.
