Call a General Election as the Tories no longer have a valid mandate to govern

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The British people must have a say on the new PM. We have voted on the 2019 manifesto which is no longer relevant and the country needs a new plan/path for recovery.
We are about to have the 3rd PM in 4 months with the resignation of Liz Truss. There is no clear leadership mandate for the country and the British people must have a say on a General Election.
