What the petition asks
Create a mechanism that allows the people to register that they have no confidence in the government. If a trigger value is met a general election is forced, regardless of the fixed term.
Presently government, can do as they please for four years, then try and court the public for the last year. I want to force the government to do their best every year, or face the consequences.
