The petition demands that Boris Johnson is 'reinstated into his rightful position'
More than 10,000 have signed a petition calling for Boris Johnson to return as Prime Minister and "deliver Great Britain a great future."
Set up by the Conservative Post, the petition says that Johnson was “undemocratically ousted by a small cabal of MPs.”
The group calls for him to replace Liz Truss, who has only been in her role as Prime Minister for 41 days.
The petition reads: "We, the undersigned, petition the Conservative & Unionist Party to Bring Back Boris Johnson as the leader of our party and Prime Minister of this country.
"After being voted for by 14 million people and giving our party an 80 seat majority, our democratically elected Prime Minister Boris Johnson was undemocratically ousted by a small cabal of MPs.
"We the undersigned believe Boris is the only person who can save us from electoral catastrophe at the next General Election and demand he be given the opportunity to see out the manifesto we the people voted for.

"You the party need us to deliver your leaflets, knock on doors, donate funds and spread your messages. You need us to get out and vote for you. The only way the party is going to survive now is if you bring back the leader we want, we support and we will stand behind.
"We hereby demand Boris Johnson is reinstated into his rightful position to lead our party into the next General Election and deliver Great Britain a great future. "
The petition will be given "directly to Conservative Party Chairman Jake Berry" when the group meet with him on November 15.
On Tuesday, a poll found that the majority of Tory members want Truss to resign and be replaced by her predecessor.

Pressure is mounting on Liz Truss who has had a disastrous tenure in office.
Following the disastrous implementation of her economic policies and philosophy, on which she based her leadership campaign, she has had to
sack her Chancellor and close ally Kwasi Kwarteng.
She replaced him with Jeremy Hunt, someone who openly disagree with her low-taxation policies and has promptly decided to
reverse almost every single policy the government announced in the mini-budget last month.
