What the petition asks
We think this would give democracy back to the people of the UK if a government is not making the changes the public expect or if not delivering their manifesto; they can be removed to avoid the extended damage the current system allows.
We think this would reduce the period for economic decline that a sitting government can create if their policies are not working.
