Right now, only the Prime Minister can request an early General Election. We believe the public should also have a clear democratic mechanism to do so.

Background
We call on the Government to bring forward proposals to:
• Pass a law where a petition signed by over 50.1% of registered voters can trigger an early General Election.
• Allow public petitions which receive significantly large amounts of signatures to automatically trigger a no confidence debate in Parliament
