What the petition asks

In Boris' own words "[Gordon Brown] could appease public indignation over [being PM], and secure the democratic mandate he needs, by asking the public to vote at once on him, on the new EU treaty, and on the implications of the devolutionary settlement. Let's have an election without delay"
