What the petition asks
A recent petition asking for Parliament to discuss a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister was rejected as there is no law in force that allows anyone other than a sitting MP to do this. We now ask for legislation to be introduced that allows the populous to request such a debate.
At the moment we, the voting public, can only change the Government, or certain members, every 5 years. We should have the right to request MPs to submit a vote of no confidence on our behalf
