Call a General Election before Article 50 is enacted.
With the changing leadership of the Conservative party which ultimately means a change in Prime Minister, we, the undersigned, call for a General Election to be called before Article 50 is enacted. This will allow the public to choose who is responsible for our on-going relationship with the EU.
Parliament has the sovereign right to enact the following part of the Fixed- term Parliaments Act.
Section 2 of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2012 states:
An early general election is held if:
If the House of Commons resolves "That this house has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government"; or
If the House of Commons, with the support of two-thirds of its total membership (including vacant seats), resolves "That there shall be an early general election"
In either of these two cases, the Monarch appoints the date of the new election by proclamation.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
