There's a housing crisis!Am I crazy? Surely giving social housing tenants the right to buy their homes and reducing their rent by 1% every year for four years is good news. Don't be fooled! In the short term these measures might seem advantageous to people living in social housing. In fact in the long term they pose a real threat to the very organisations that provide such housing and therefore to the tenants and future tenants. They also pose a threat to every taxpayer. Who will pay to pick up the pieces when housing associations (RPs) go under? Once lost to a social housing landlord, rent money cannot be recovered. Social landlords will not benefit financially from the sell-off of their properties - people's homes - but will have insufficient surpluses with which to replace them with new housing. Many RPs will have to shelve indefinitely their plans to develop new housing. Much social housing is old and costly to maintain. RPs might also have drastically to curtail their plans to modernise these homes. If they're really strapped for cash, routine maintenance plans will also be adversely affected. The knock-on effects of the Government's plans are serious and wide-ranging. There is a housing crisis! This is not the time to be impoverishing the very organisations that could help to remedy that.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Walker

start fielding candidates in englandThere was a cry from a lot of places, mostly the north of England, for the SNP to field candidates in England. it would provide people with an alternative to voting UKIP as a protest vote. the many former Labour voters have nothing left to believe in, with Labour and the Tories moving further to the right. it would give people in England hope, that there is a decent socialist alternative, and put the fear of god up the right wing parties.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by eric russell

Bring the MPs pay back down from £75,000 to £67,000£64,000 is plenty amount of cash for members of parliament, so why are the MPs taking a large pay rise while the BBC and working families take a pay cut for already rich MPs to get a higher pay check. It's selfish and we must stop it. There pay rise is causing damage to working families and public services (Eg Transport) the BBC is now on its knees97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Whitehouse

Keep the RBS PUBLICIt is wrong for taxpayers, who will surely stand to lose substantial amounts in any such fire sale. It is wrong for small businesses, as ministers and voters will lose whatever grip they had on directing lending to hard-pressed companies that are facing bankruptcy or big losses thanks to the harsh financing terms extended by high-street banks. And finally, it is wrong for the British economy, which is struggling to emerge from a severe recession caused by banks running wild.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeremy Corbyn

PEACE NOWFollowing the recent massacres in Egypt, France, Kuwait and Tunisia it's time for real action by world governments. Irresponsible governments and regimes must understand that the people of the world can't watch more bloodshed in silence. If we don't see real action to bring about peace in the world we will act.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elsayed Selim

STOP MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES EVADING UK TAXATIONThe EU seems to be up for it, but for some unknown reason George Osborne is against it! WTF is going on here?! Every year our budget as a nation of taxpayers is denied billions of pounds of legitimate revenue because the Tory Government is too spineless to tackle this issue. Or are they simply in cahoots?! If they are, this is corruption at the highest level... This is a well documented issue. Many big multinational companies find ways to evade corporate taxation by allegedly basing their operation in tax havens such as Luxembourg. This is the oldest dodge in the book and it has run out of credibility. If these companies are doing huge amounts of business with UK taxpayers, they should pay their dues to HMRC. This should be an open and shut case, but it's not, mainly because they are not being brought to book by the government.154 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Marcus Lidell

Let mature students access new Masters scholarshipsTo restrict postgraduate funding to very new graduates excludes a vast proportion of the population who could undertake Masters level study to benefit both their own career and the academic institutions at which they study. It discriminates on the grounds of age, when arguably some of the most valuable Masters candidates are those with a good level of industry experience who can bring more than just intelligence to their chosen course. Widening eligibility criteria for government funding is essential to allow proper functioning of postgraduate education and research in the UK.70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Compton

Members of Parliament Pay RiseIf we are to turn this country around and save money, how is it right that Members of Parliament get such a large increase in comparison to other public sector workers. We have all had to make sacrifices over the last 7 years because the pay rises given to NHS workers in particular, have been at 1% or less, which has not been keeping up with inflation. This is all public money that comes out of all of our pockets (those that have, still are, or will be) paying income tax. I have emailed my own MP to ask him to act, so if everyone does this, then maybe we will be heard.112 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Tony Baker
