Should call an election but no yet. We need a settling period not more upheaval. 12 - 18 months seems right. I think both the Tories and Labour will have new leaders by the time we have another election.

No. People are bored to death of politics and politicians, the last thing the public need is another bloody election. The next two years are going to be very unstable and very difficult for the Tories, whoever they pick to be the new PM, just sit back and watch.

Nobody's suggesting that it should be right now but any government should have a proper mandate as we move forward.

The same conservative party that were highly critical of an unelected Gordon Brown. I think its inevitable that the UK will have a General Election, in or around the time it confirms an exit - I don't think we can legitimately have a government that hasn't been elected on the basis of manifesto on progress outside of the EU.

With Dave resigning (in what was a very good and humble speech IMHO) I think there should be an election called so that each party can put forward their plans for a post Brexit Britain. From what I understand the fixed parliament act can be overridden in certain circumstances. If we do not have an election, we will effectively have a government without manifesto which is to my mind, undemocratic. Do you mean like the time when Brown took over from Blair?
No wait a minute....... there wasn't a General Election.... was there? In actual fact it would be a good laugh to see Corbyn's arse kicked....... Bring it On!

Point taken, but everything has changed overnight. We should be given a choice on who we think is best to take us forward into our new golden age.
