Early General Election upon the appointment of a new Conservative Party Leader.
The Conservatives are within their rights to appoint a new party leader, but given the severity of our country's situation post-referendum we must give the general public a right to decide (by election) which party is best to take us forward by allowing each of them to vocalise their manifesto.
To allow someone to our lead great country after simply being voted into power at such a sensitive time by less than 0.5% of the electoral register couldn't be less democratic.
We must hold a vote in Parliament to trigger an early General Election; critically before the UK triggers Article 50, as we as a whole country must democratically decide who is to control the exit from the EU and how.
Without doing this the new Leader of the Comservatives will have no mandate; this is unacceptable.
