Government need to make party manifestos legally enforceable.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Once we have a government with the authority of The People, party manifestos must be legally enforceable to ALL ELECTED THROUGH THEM. Any MP who cannot or will not stand by the manifesto the were elected under must stand for reelection under new term.

MP can no longer be allowed to ignore their manifesto pledges or to resign from a party to divorce themselves from manifesto pledges without also resigning their seats.

Manifestos need to have the weight of a legal document. A contract between The People and each member in person elected under that banner.

Government, make it so.
