Rejected petition Facilitate the public with a direct vote on our confidence in this government.

We, the people, demand a means to provide a direct vote of no confidence on this and all future governments. Should 51% of the public indicate a discontent for the government, the opposition will be allowed to form a minority government. This can be achieved online or by post for any UK citizen.

More details

Dissatisfaction over (I) the non-representative FPTP system is growing; less than 50% of the popular vote has provided the government with a huge majority, (ii) the current government's handling of the Corona virus and of brexit negotiations is also growing. The people must be provided with a means to overthrow any government that they feel do not act in their best interests, should the electorate indicate online or by post such a desire. The full list should be visible online, open to scrutiny.
