MPs panel: Should there be a snap general election?
5 live Daily's Emma Barnett asked MPs Dr Sarah Wollaston, Gisela Stuart and Caroline Lucas if there should be a snap general election following Theresa May's Brexit speech.
Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas believes there should be, saying: "Theresa May has no mandate for the kind of Brexit she is pursuing. I think she needs to go to the country now."
But Conservative MP Dr Sarah Wollaston doesn't think an election is "necessary" and "the public don't want it". And Labour MP Gisela Stuart said: "It is the Conservative government's responsibility to implement, on a national level, that decision."
