What the petition asks
Teresa May, a Prime Minister we did not elect, has announced her resignation.
This means that for the second time we are going to have a Prime Minister that we have not elected.
Since the EU Referendum, British Politics has been shambolic.
Let the public decide who they want to lead us.
