Allow Members Of The Public To Hold A Vote Of No Confidence In The Government
Parliament should allow members of the public to hold a Vote of No Confidence in the Conservative Government.
Once a Prime Minister has either been ousted out of office and/or left on his or her own free will. It should be put into law that a general election is automatically triggered.
Since the Conservative Government have crashed the economy, raised taxes, caused continued austerity and poverty, and people’s mental health, well-being and a risk of losing lives. A vote should be held on triggering a general election from the electorate.
It is also unfair that Conservative members are allowed to choose who to become PM. Yet, the rest of us are not allowed. Therefore, rest of the public should be able to choose as it is us they are working for as well, not just Tory members.
