Allow a general election. A leader should be chosen by those they repsent.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A general election is needed, to end the farce we see going on. A leader is chosen by those they represent, and should only ever be that way. After multiple government and PM failings, the general public are owed, and will demand a general election

These are questions that should be decided in a general election, not in the strange bubble of another Conservative leadership election. And for this reason we are calling for a general election to be held.

It is a simple and fundamental principle that the government derives its democratic legitimacy from the people. The future of the country must not be decided by plotting and U-turns at Westminster; it must be decided by the people in a general election.
