What the petition asks
We urge the Government to allow the public to decide if they think the Government is fulfilling its obligations and pre-election pledges by holding a midterm referendum within a six-month window of either side of the mid-term of that Parliament.
We believe this could help ensure that the elected Government is fulfilling its responsibilities to make good on pre-election pledges and was acting in the interests of the country.
