Reform the Recall of MPs act of 2015 to include more power to the electorate

Petition Details

The Recall of MPs act of 2015 needs to be reformed to enable electorate to trigger the election of a new MP for their constituency in the case of low support for the current acting MP.
The current act only allows this in the case of serious wrong doing e.g. an MP must serve a prison sentence.
