Constitutional rule: governments breaking manifesto promises must call elections
This petition seeks a constitutional rule requiring any government that breaks an explicit election manifesto promise—without compelling public-interest justification—to resign and trigger a General Election, ensuring accountability thereafter protecting democratic trust.
I want a binding legal framework, impossible to evade or dilute, that compels any government which breaks an election pledge to resign and call a General Election.

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.
Call a general election if a government breaks an election manifesto promise
