Petition Action

Change the law to enable UK citizens to force an immediate General Election.

Petition Details

A system needs to be put in place to allow the electorate a vote of no confidence in the government.
At present a vote of no confidence can only be called by parliament. An unpopular government with a large majority is safe because no MP will vote to lose their seat. This is undemocratic.

Additional Information

If someone lies about a material fact on a CV, their employer is entitled to dismiss that person from their job.
The government works for the people. If a party lies about their election promises in order to get the electorate vote, there is nothing their employers, the voters can do about it.
This undermines democracy. In a democracy the public should have the right to remove a government that is not working in the best interests of the country.
