An unpopular government with a large majority is safe because no MP will vote to lose their seat. This is undemocratic.","additional_details":"If someone lies about a material fact on a CV, their employer is entitled to dismiss that person from their job.\r\nThe government works for the people. If a party lies about their election promises in order to get the electorate vote, there is nothing their employers, the voters can do about it.\r\nThis undermines democracy. In a democracy the public should have the right to remove a government that is not working in the best interests of the country.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2025-08-23T06:15:47.296Z","updated_at":"2025-09-03T15:49:30.158Z","rejected_at":"2025-09-03T15:49:24.048Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-08-24T17:05:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"Give the British Public the Right to Vote No Confidence in the Government\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/734311"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
