Background
Government must remain accountable to the people it serves. The current system provides no direct mechanism for the electorate to dissolve Parliament when it fails to represent public interests. Votes of no confidence are controlled by MPs, not the public. The result is prolonged governance , eroding public trust .
Ensuring that Parliament remains accountable.
Prevents prolonged political deadlock.
We urge Parliament to debate and implement a fair, democratic, and well-regulated process.
