Hold annual public approval votes for sitting governments

Background

Introduce a law requiring annual public approval votes on the sitting UK government. If approval falls below a set threshold, a general election must be triggered. Governments must also be legally bound to deliver on election promises.

Additional details

The public currently has no democratic recourse between elections when governments break promises or underperform. We propose a reform to introduce annual public confidence votes. If a government fails to meet a defined approval threshold (e.g. 50%), this would legally trigger a general election. Elected officials should be required to fulfil policy pledges, or face consequences at the ballot box. This reform would improve accountability and restore public trust.
