Introduce a threshold for the public to call a General Election.
To ensure the Government remains accountable to the electorate, a threshold should be introduced to call a General Election by the public. An example could be a 2/3rd majority of the number of voters that voted at the last General Election.

Background
This will ensure no Government can be elected on a set of promises and then immediately lie, backtrack and break them. This would restore a sense of trust in politics and give the public the power to call an election if the overwhelming majority were in disagreement and wanted a fresh choice.
