Make manifesto pledges legally binding and trigger public inquiries if broken.

Petition Details

Make key manifesto pledges legally binding.
Broken pledges trigger an independent inquiry, publish findings; allow recall petitions or even a new election for serious breaches.
Real consequences for broken promises, restore voter trust.

Additional Information

Our nation’s choice of governing party hinges on manifestos, yet too many key pledges are abandoned soon after being elected.

The “we didn’t know” excuses must end.

Introduce binding manifesto commitments: broken promises must trigger public inquiries into find either the previous government’s deception or the incoming administration’s failure to perform proper due diligence before making such fundamental pledges.

Politicians must deliver or be held accountable. Time for real consequences.
