When Theresa May resigns the government must call a general election
Rejected

What the petition asks
Theresa May was installed by her party to be Prime Minister. She refused to resign over Brexit shambles & many other failures. We will not stand for another PM being forced on us without a general election. When she goes & the installation of a new leader happens they must go to the country
Stop the self serving MPs riding roughshod over the Country. Only a general election will clear the swap
