Background

Give people a vote of confidence in their MP 18 months after a general election. If fewer than 326 MPs from the governing party/parties win their confidence votes then a general election should be held in six months’ time.

Additional details

I believe this will make the democratic system we use stronger by allowing an elected government to prove the manifesto voted upon is truthful and realistic and not just to be smoke and mirrors. We are concerned that the current system has not enough accountability to truth and lies. This would allow the public to judge the government in a probation like manner similar to any other job. Strengthen our democracy, make Britain Greater and elected parties accountable for post-vote actions.
