Rejected petition Failing the interests of the people, allow a vote for instant general election

The power of the government should only be granted by the consent of the governed, and thus the law should reflect that, if the interests of the people have been failed by those representing them in the democratic parliament a vote of no confidence & general election should be granted to the people.

More details

Change the law granting the power of a no confidence vote and thus a general election given to the people at any point should the people feel the government has failed them.
