Demand a general election after the resignation of Keir Starmer.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A new general election should be called now that Keir Starmer has resigned. The labour party has not got a mandate from the voter to continue by simply replacing one PM with another person (Burnham) who was not even elected an MP until a few days ago.

The democratic thing to do (which they often talk about but is shown little in their actions) is to let the people speak. If they truly love the country, then the people will be allowed to let their voice be heard.
