What the petition asks
We the British people wish the government to call a general election so the people of the UK can decide who they wish to govern them.
The leader of the Labour party has resigned, he is also going to resign as prime minister, the new leader of the labour party will then become prime minister,the new leader has no mandate given to him or her by the people they have also not been elected as prime minister by the people of this country, we are asking that this be put right by the government. The people should always have the final say when it comes to who they wish to govern them.
