Petition background

Introduce legislation giving UK voters the right to trigger a national vote of confidence in the Government if a petition reaches a defined threshold of verified support, with clear rules for the vote and its constitutional consequences.

Additional details

Create a legal right for UK voters to trigger a national vote of confidence in the Government between General Elections.
