This means that governments can break promises or make decisions that are destructive to the country, and the electorate can do nothing until the next election.","additional_details":"Because the current government does not represent the best interests of the working, tax paying, law abiding British citizen. We can’t continue like this until the next general election, this is to mitigate the potential of civil unrest and more potential cover ups by the current government, they’re pushing agendas that were never voted for and stripping away more and more rights of the average British citizen.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2026-03-13T15:43:01.459Z","updated_at":"2026-04-14T10:39:22.757Z","rejected_at":"2026-04-14T10:39:14.242Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-13T18:58:10.000Z","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":"no-action","details":"It's not clear to us from your petition how the people would express their lack of confidence in the Government.
