What the petition asks

The voter bases their decision on who to vote for in local & general elections, on their promises made within election manifestos. We seek a law BEFORE the 2020 election, the make these manifestos, legally binding documents which must be adhered to within 12 months of election, or face prosecution
If any government is voted in and does not fulfill their manifesto promises without good and legal reason within their first 12 months in office, they shall face prosecution under fraud law, and must immediately dissolve their government.
