The "NHS Bill 2015" campaign is calling on all General Election candidates to sign up to the new "NHS Reinstatement Bill", and is already attracting cross-party support. The “Campaign for an NHS Reinstatement Bill 2015" has produced an “NHS Reinstatement Bill” which sets out the legal steps needed not only to reverse the failings of the Health & Social Care Act 2012, but to fully restore the NHS in England as an accountable public service. Unless we all keep the pressure on MP's of all parties in the run up to the next election, our voices will be lost in the spin, sound bites and agendas. We were fooled in 2010 by false the promise of no NHS re-organisations. With the secret TTIP negotiations ongoing, now, more then ever, everyone has to make their voices heard regarding the NHS. Please contact your MP and prospective parliamentary candidates and ask them to support Professor Pollock's "NHS Reinstatement Bill", and ask them if they do not, why not? You can reach your MP via https://www.writetothem.com/ For further information, please see: https://www.opendemocracy.net/ournhs/caroline-molloy/new-law-proposed-to-stop-nhs-becoming-simply-memory

Only 49% of current MPs were born in the area they represent and very slightly more (51%) completed their secondary schooling in their constituency. In England those born within their constituency stands at just 43%. There are many MPs elected via a so-called "safe-seat" who have had nothing to do with the people and the area they seek to represent. We should all be represented in parliament by someone who has solid links with the people and place he/she purports to speak for. Clearly many people leave their town of birth to live elsewhere, and politicians are no different. However, a minimum residency ruling would help create a better understanding by our MPs of the needs and concerns of local people and therefore a more repesentative parliament.

Services are being broken up and sold off to private companies for them to make profit from crime. Criminal Justice should be above the profit incentive and motivated by justice, the clues in the name. People are being put at risk by the creation of artificial barriers between staff, depending on who they work for. This is very bad for the sharing of information and risk management. Work is already being skewed towards working with those who will be the best bet to comply, rather than according to risk. A lot of what was previously done to protect the public is becoming impossible because of a ludicrous diversion of resources. Staff in the private companies will not need to be trained as they are in the public sector. They will be dealing with violent domestic abusers and others who pose a real risk to the public. The Probation Service was already a high performing organisation that had exceeded targets set for it by government. This privatisation politically is driven and is not cost effective or in the interests of the public.

With a yes majority in Westminister we will be in a very strong position to fight for Scotland without being sabotaged by No parties. If we can achieve a pro-indy government we have the future of our nation back in our hands. Without a Yes majority Scotland will be back in its box, this is why we must focus the YES from each constituency so that we achieve a majority over the divided (Labour, Tories, LIb Dems, UKIP, BNP, ect) No vote.

So Scotland gets the exact revenues from fisheries and oil and gas revenues that is due Rightfully due to Scotland.

Despite years of equality legislation and the declared will of many policy-makers, women continue to be subject to economic, health, safety and power inequality in the UK. These inequalities are experienced strongly in England where women’s inequality is increasing under current public policies. In recent years we have seen attacks on legislation intended to promote greater equality, existing legislation not being implemented adequately and a regression in public attitudes to the principles of equality and social progress. The recent Queen's speech and Government Programme address only some of these issues and only in part. The SW Women's Manifesto calls for action are now even more important. We call on The Minister and all Government and Opposition MPs to pledge support to our ‘calls to action’. We have identified a number of positive, achievable actions that would make a significant difference to women’s lives, making women: • safer; • healthier; • more financially secure; • a greater presence in public policy making We believe these policies would improve the lives of children, vulnerable adults and the elderly, irrespective of gender. We are particularly concerned that women from BME communities continue to be more disadvantaged, even more than other women, and that the position of women is becoming worse relative to that of men. The discussions are moving more towards ‘families’ and women as individuals are disappearing from the agenda. See: http://www.fairplaysouthwest.org.uk/manifesto

Because our current structure offers no vehicle to challenge unfair legislation and this is a major reason that people have become disaffected with politics. Also people may broadly agree with a Government direction but be very concerned about components of their program, this gives a finer grained power to manage Government that an in/out vote

The people of Scotland were given a binary choice in the Independence Referendum: independence or the status quo. A majority voted for the status quo. There was no third option that more powers be devolved to the Scottish parliament and no one voted for it. Why then are the wishes of the majority being disregarded by the Smith Commission while the wishes of the SNP, who lost the referendum, are being catered for? This is an outrageous situation and shows utter contempt for the wishes of the majority. The Scottish people must now be given a vote on whether or not the Scottish parliament, which refuses to respect the wishes of the majority of Scots, should be wound up. I believe it should. People have lost all confidence in politicians who they can see are not only contemptuous of the wishes of the majority but also grossly incompetent, wasteful of taxpayer’s money and irrelevant. They are fed up of their excessive taxes, irresponsible management of the Country’s finances, restrictive and unnecessary laws, rules, regulations and red tape that damages businesses, reduces people’s standard of living, strips them of their freedom, right of expression and liberty and harms the environment. We would all benefit from having fewer politicians, lower taxes and greater freedom. For these reasons, I believe that we would all benefit from shutting down the Scottish Parliament. Politicians are a force for bad that we can do without. Please sign this petition, circulate it to everyone on your address book and help get rid of superfluous politicians.

Someone who is a member of the Government should not hold discriminatory views. Read more here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29628557

We need these grounds Grade 2 Listing to ensure their protection from any future work programs.

On the 13th October MP's voted 274 to 12 in favour of recognising a state of Palestine. The government have decided to ignore the wishes of our elected representatives. Out of over 50 speeches only 6 of these speeches spoke against recognition. The majority of the conservative party abstained from voting. This is a classic case of why the electorate feel disenfranchised.

This is important because presently the four Constituencies whose MPs are either Speaker or Deputy Speaker are not fully and effectively represented in The House of Commons. These MPs are unable to speak (save to referee the rest), vote, or bring early day motions in The House and as a consequence, all constituents in those constituencies do not enjoy the same right of representation as the rest of the population. If constituents in these four constituencies wish a matter to be brought to the House, there is no mechanism for this to happen. We have been told that the serving MP who is a deputy may "influence" their colleagues, but this is unaccountable and clearly unlikely to be effective. One MP strictly represents one constituency and it is doubtful that they would have the inclination, much less the time to effectively support a second constituency. MPs who hold the office of Speaker or Deputy Speaker become nothing more to their constituents than ribbon-cutting celebrities. To add insult to this injury, the MP in question takes a further £60,000 from the public purse to hold this disabling office.
