This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition “Hold a Public Vote of No Confidence in the Administration.”
Both government & opposition are the worst in recorded history.
Parliament is paralysed by party politics, ideology & voter disenfranchisement.
These are inevitable consequences of a political system that has broken down.
The electorate need to express their dissent & our politics must reform.
More details
There is a widespread clamouring for another referendum, but the one sought asks the wrong question & will not address the real issues.
A straightforward vote of no confidence will address the problem head on.
Parliament would have to unite to try and win the vote, & when they lose they must enact reforms and may need to ask again.
An easy option for reform could be to select the next parliament at random from the electoral register: that parliament could then decide what reforms are required.
