We call on the Government to introduce legislation to prevent a political party from putting forward any candidates in the general election if they have been found to have broken a manifesto commitment in the preceding parliament.
Require a referendum for any policy that breaches the governments manifesto
The government should not be able to act in away which goes against their manifesto pledges. We believe the manifesto is what drives the people to vote for government. If the government wishes to break the manifesto then we the public should have a vote in a referendum.
Pass a law that triggers an early General Election via a public petition
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.
