Petition Action

Make political party manifestos legally binding.

Additional Information

I would like to see party manifestos of all political parties that seek to run the country made legally binding. Even if there is a coalition government.

When the current government formed a coalition in order to be in power, both have selectively used the argument that neither party is bound to their manifestos because no party had the majority vote.
If a coalition government is formed then a secondary vote should be given to the voters upon which they select a 50/50 split of each of the parties manifesto pledges.
If this cannot be agreed to then the general election should be held again until there is a majority vote for one party.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
