Background
We cannot call for a vote of no confidence in the government and get an early general election called. When a party goes against the mandate they were elected on and do not represent the public that voted them in, then adding these questions to a local election ballet paper would give an idea of how the people of this country feel about the current government. If an answer to the questions was a 65% in the NO direction then a general election should be called.
