Rejected petition Reform the law to let the public trigger a Government no-confidence vote

We call on Parliament to debate and enact legislation allowing the British public to initiate a formal vote of no confidence in the Government via a verified petition

More details

Parliament's sole control over no-confidence votes denies citizens a direct way to demand accountability mid-term. This fuels public discontent over [e.g., "illegal migration, rising inflation, NHS delays, and housing shortages"].

Such reform would:Bolster democracy by giving voters a voice between elections.
Introduce a "Recall of Government Bill" with clear thresholds and safeguards.This would rebuild trust and make governance more responsive.
