Mid term PM’s must gain the mandate of a General Election.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Within 180 days of taking office, a mid-term Prime Minister who is put in place by a political party’s process, must call a General Election to obtain a mandate.

Over the last 10 years the UK has suffered from a conveyor belt of PM’s. To bring stability and prevent the Westminster bubble deciding our leaders, make it mandatory that any change of PM mid term, must be followed by a General Election being called within 180 days of appointment.
