Background
To stall the growing disconnect between the government and the electorate of the UK, the majority of whom now feel disenfranchised voting on the basis of promises that are unfulfilled. This anomaly is giving governments unfettered authority to impose their will on the very people who voted them into govt based on these promises that have now become totally meaningless. Having a legal obligation will help to remind the govt of their primary objective in representing the people who vote for them.
