The next Conservative leader has no mandate; a general election must be held

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Considering the recent local election results, the EU election results and the complete rejection of the Conservative Brexit offered, any leader that follows Theresa May has no mandate. A General Election must be held, so parties can offer their Brexit position and let the public decide.
