Petition request

That the House of Representatives make available in the next general election the option of a vote of no confidence in any of the registered political parties.

Petition reason

Currently there is no option like this. So if any members of the public are not happy or confident in any of the given options, we are left unable to express this lack of confidence. I believe that slowly, as a nation and as individuals, we are realising it doesn't matter what party gets in (different wing of the same bird) and this option would give New Zealanders the ability to voice their lack of confidence in all parties and proposed members of Parliament.
