We call on Parliament to pass a law giving the British public the power to trigger a vote of no confidence in the ruling government. Currently, only MPs can do this. We believe the public should also have the democratic right to express when they’ve lost trust in those elected to lead.

We voted for a party based on promises made before the general election, yet we feel none have been delivered—in fact, the opposite has happened. We think being given this right would strengthen accountability, uphold democratic values, and ensure the government remains answerable not just to Parliament, but to the people it serves.

Government response

The Government holds office by virtue of being able to command the confidence of the House of Commons, whose members are elected by the public. There are no plans to change these arrangements.
