Review Recall of MPs Act 2015 to strengthen public accountability

Review Recall of MPs Act 2015 to strengthen public accountability — 15 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Launch a review into strengthening the Recall of MPs Act 2015 by extending the grounds under which a recall petition can be triggered.

Additional details

We feel the current Act only allows a recall petition in limited circumstances. We believe constituents should have greater powers to hold their elected representatives to account when an MP has been found guilty of serious misconduct, corruption, abuse of public office, deliberate deception when performing public duties, or any other serious breaches of public trust.
