Hold an emergency General Election.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the undersigned, call upon HM Government to hold an emergency general election in the wake of the "coup" by the government cabinets' move to remove Theresa May from No 10 and replace her with an unelected Prime Minster. To put a new PM in office without being elected is a betrayal of democracy.
