Require a referendum for any policy that breaches the governments manifesto

Closed 221 signatures

What the petition asks

The government should not be able to act in away which goes against their manifesto pledges. We believe the manifesto is what drives the people to vote for government. If the government wishes to break the manifesto then we the public should have a vote in a referendum.
Manifesto pledges should be adhered to by the democratically elected government. Introducing polices that break this should require the public to hold a referendum and hold the final say.
