Hold a General Election 2019 in accordance with the Fixed-term Parliaments Act

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Boris Johnson has not been democratically elected as Prime Minister.

Whether or not you think Boris Johnson is capable of leading the country, he is a contentious and divisive character, which has been evidenced in the House of Commons during recent months. He should not be made PM without a GE.
In 2007, Boris made the following claim: "No one elected Gordon Brown as Prime Minister"…”It’s at moments like this that I think the political world has gone mad, and I am alone in detecting the gigantic fraud.”

We call on Boris Johnson to avoid any accusations of hypocrisy and call an immediate early General Election in accordance with the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.
