Change the law so that citizens can call for a general election.

What the petition asks

Boris Johnson has been voted leader of the Conservative Party which means that he becomes our Prime Minister without a public vote.
I worry that Boris Johnson's values and competence are far removed from what makes a great leader. I fear for the NHS, Education and the poor of this country. Let's try to change the law so that general elections can be called by the citizens of the UK when over 50% choose to call one.
