Call an early general election
Once a new leader of the Conservative party is chosen on the 9th of September the country will be controlled by someone who has at most received 150,000 votes (The number of Conservative party members), this is undemocratic and therefore should result in the calling of a early general election.
Parliament has two options to achieve an early general election. Either two thirds of the MPs of the house can vote for a motion that calls for one, or alternatively a majority can be secured under the motion of "This house has no confidence in Her Majesty's government" resulting in a 14 day period of consideration about the alternative administrations that could hold the confidence of the house.
