Introduce an elected Supreme Court

Closed 42 signatures

What the petition asks

Introduce an elected Supreme Court, so that the public can vote to elect the Justices to the Supreme Court, rather than them being appointed.
We believe this would open the door to wider political representation and suffrage for the people. We think that if the public can vote in a government, then they should be able to vote in the members of the Supreme Court.
