If Theresa May steps down as Prime Minister, a General Election must be held
Rejected

What the petition asks
Should the Prime Minister resign, the future of this country (as regards the outcome of Brexit) could very well be determined by a small number of Conservative Party members. This is undemocratic. Instead, a General Election must be called so the electorate can vote and express their wishes.
