Rejected petition Create legislation that allows the public to hold a vote of No Confidence
The United Kingdom is supposedly a democracy. However, in cases of a minority government the public do not hold the power to remove a government from office when they no longer have confidence in their ability to rule.
More details
In the last election the ruling party lost their majority which can interpreted as the public no longer having confidence in them.
By allowing the public to remove a failing government from office and bypassing the fixed term parliament act, the country takes a step closer to true democracy.
