This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Hold a Public Vote (national referendum) of No Confidence in the Administration.
The EU Referendum has divided the nation like nothing else in living memory, yet both sides of that divide seem united in their lack of confidence in the Government.
We face a democratic crisis brought about by the hubris of Parliament & their failure to give the relevant issues due consideration.
More details
The 2015 election has been widely cited as the least representative election in the history of democracy and the last election quite simply proves the electoral system is not fit for purpose returning no overall majority, yet delivering a PM who claims that nothing has changed.
We have a systemic failure in the way our representatives are selected, and no realistic prospect of reform in the foreseeable future.
The people have lost confidence. Parliament needs to propose how she will win it back.
