Rejected petition: Introduce a Citizen-Initiated Referendum to Trigger a General Election.

Parliament should pass a law allowing citizens to trigger a General Election via a secure online vote of no confidence.
Governments can lose support mid-term but serve up to five years. This would strengthen democracy with a high bar: 75% No Confidence and 60% turnout to automatically dissolve Parliament and call a GE within 6 weeks.
This balanced reform would restore trust and improve accountability.
