Rejected petition Change general election voting to once a year.

Change general election voting to once a year, so if the party in power doesn't hold up there policy's the people have the chance to change but if they do a good job then the people can revote them in. This then makes them more likely to stick to there word and policy's they got voted in for.

More details

Politicians are not sticking to there word and the people are not happy. 5 years is too long and a lot of damage can be done in that time so a year is more appropriate.
