Change the law - UK citizens can force immediate General Election -no confidence

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Legislation requires amendment to empower UK citizens with the capacity to compel the initiation of an immediate general election via a motion of no confidence
Should the consensus among UK citizens suggest that the current party's agenda may adversely affect the United Kingdom's growth and stability, the electorate is entitled to seek a change in governance.

The citizens of the United Kingdom possess the sovereign right to determine who is best suited to lead the nation and to establish the mechanisms by which this leadership transition occurs.
