Hold another general election in 2016 after the resignation of David Cameron.
The country voted to leave the EU largely due to the argument that it was undemocratic. However, after the resignation David Cameron, the Tories are going to elect a new PM without any say from the public. As a result, another general election should be held to allow the U.K. to elect a new PM.
One of the arguments for leaving the EU was that it was undemocratic, and yet a new PM is about to come to power without the support of the public.
According to the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act an early general election can be called if a motion that there shall be an early parliamentary general election is passed by the House of Commons with at least two thirds in favour of the motion; or if a motion of no confidence is passed by the House of Commons.
The House should vote for another election.
