Do you think there should be a General Election once Keir Starmer steps down as Prime Minister?

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced he will step down after losing the support of many Labour MPs following months of political pressure.

Under the UK's parliamentary system, a Prime Minister can be replaced without a general election if the governing party retains a majority in the House of Commons.

Labour is expected to choose a new leader, who would normally become prime minister without a nationwide vote.

Supporters argue this provides stability and follows established constitutional practice.

Critics say a new prime minister should seek a fresh mandate through a general election.

The situation has prompted debate over whether the UK should hold a general election once Keir Starmer steps down as Prime Minister.
