Introduce a public right to trigger a national vote of no confidence

Background

Introduce legislation giving UK voters the right to trigger a national vote of confidence in the Government if a petition reaches a defined threshold of verified support, with clear rules for the vote and its constitutional consequences.

Additional details

Create a legal right for UK voters to trigger a national vote of confidence in the Government between General Elections. If a petition reaches 5% of the registered UK parliamentary electorate within six months, verified by an independent authority, a national vote must be held. Parliament must establish safeguards against fraud and repeated votes, and define the constitutional consequences if the Government loses the vote.
