The removal or death of a PM should trigger a general election

Petition Details

We call on the Government to introduce legislation which would mandate a general election if a Prime Minister is removed or resigns from post, or if the Prime Minister dies.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
