Give the public the power to trigger a no confidence vote in the Government
We call on Parliament to introduce legislation allowing UK citizens to trigger a public vote of no confidence in the Government. If a set number of verified signatures is reached, the law would require a binding national vote on whether the Government should stay in office.

Background
Currently, only MPs can trigger a vote of no confidence. We believe this power should also be available to the people, especially in times of widespread dissatisfaction. A defined legal process would ensure this power is democratic, orderly, and used responsibly.
This reform would strengthen public accountability and restore trust in our democratic system.
