Let voters trigger a no-confidence process and require Parliament to act. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
Create a law for a verified public petition to declare a loss of confidence in the Government between general elections, with a national voter threshold that, once met, obliges Parliament to hold a no-confidence vote within a one-week notice, which could lead to an early general election.
We want a new law establishing a statutory public confidence mechanism, so voters can formally signal a loss of confidence in the Government between elections above a clear national threshold, requiring MPs to debate and hold a no-confidence vote. This would fill the current democratic deficit gap, where previously only Parliament could initiate a vote of no confidence after serious breaches of trust, and would better reflect when public confidence has materially changed since the last election.
