What the petition asks
The new PM Boris Johnson once wrote an article on how Gordon Brown had no mandate being unelected by the British People. I would say the same is true now of Boris who 'could appease public indignation over that, and secure the democratic mandate he needs, by asking the public to vote at once on him'
There was a call some years ago on the process by which Gordon Brown became PM a modern take of that is https://www.indy100.com/article/boris-johnson-gordon-brown-article-old-column-general-election-prime-minister-9017566
All I ask is that the new PM puts his money where his mouth is or does he only believe in democracy when it is someone other than himself becoming PM
