Background
Parliament's sole control over no-confidence votes denies citizens a direct way to demand accountability mid-term. This fuels public discontent over [e.g., "illegal migration, rising inflation, NHS delays, and housing shortages"].
Such reform would:Bolster democracy by giving voters a voice between elections.
Introduce a "Recall of Government Bill" with clear thresholds and safeguards.This would rebuild trust and make governance more responsive.
