To: Prime Minister David Cameron
Call a General Election Within 6 Months of the Vote to Leave the European Union
Prime Minister David Cameron should now do the right thing and call a general election before the triggering of Article 50, leading us to leave the EU. He will not be Prime Minister to do this -- therefore, the people should decide who will be.
Why is this important?
Without a general election, only 150,000 Conservative Party members will have the power to decide who the next Prime Minister is, and by extension the team who will negotiate our exit from the European Union. This is unacceptable.
The EU referendum has proved that this country is deeply divided. Now is the time to allow people to try and come together behind a particular vision of post-Brexit Britain. The binary nature of this referendum has been divisive -- only a general election is the right way to try and build bridges to the future.
