Make a political Party Manifesto a legally binding Contract with We The People.
Political Parties make Manifestos to attract voters then don't keep to the conditions. A Manifesto should be a legally binding contract between the Government and The People and a 'breach of contract' should automatically disqualify from the right to rule and summarily generate a General Election
Currently Party Manifestos are not worth the paper they are written on as once elected to Government, Parties continually breach their Manifesto. This has gone on time-immemorial and it is time to stop this habitual practice. A Manifesto is a set of promises and should be a legally binding contract as these are the conditions a Party set down in order to get elected. Anything outside of a Manifesto has no mandate from The People.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It's not clear what this petition is asking for. We already have a petition calling for a general election if a manifesto promise is broken:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/111370
If you would like the Government to be held to account in a different way in such cases, you could start a petition calling for that.
