Petition Action

Political party manifestos should be legally binding

Additional Information

Every political party produces a manifesto, to inform the electorate of the actions it would take, if it were elected into government. However, elected governments tend to deviate from their manifesto pledges.

Therefore, I suggest all political parties must outline courses of action in their manifesto, regarding every imaginable issue that affects any member of society, regardless of how many people it affects. This must include issues raised by any member of the public. It should outline when any potential changes would occur if the party were in power. Parties should implement their policies on schedule, without fail. Should they wish to deviate from a pledge, the electorate must ratify these changes. Under a potential coalition, a new manifesto should be created that doesn’t infringe on policy promises expressed in the two parties’ manifestos. If this is not possible, another election should occur, as no party would be obligated to commit to any course of action.

This petition was rejected

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.
