Ban Government from using the phrase “will of the people”

What the petition asks
We believe the Government should not use the phrase the “will of the people”. We think that this phrase is sometimes used when the Government is not actually acting in accordance with what the majority of people want.
Stop using the phrase that they are acting on the will of the people. We think this is sometimes false.
