• All Labour Leader Candidates to Back Jeremy Corbyn's Iraq War Apology
    I agree with Jeremy Corbyn that the Iraq war was a foreign policy mistake of horrendous proportions, for British democracy, for the Labour Party and especially for the people of Iraq. I believe that politicians should stand up and admit when they are wrong and if they Labour Party is to put this issue behind us once and for all.

  • Do not let the few ignore the wishes of the many.
    We must fight for our democratic right to be heard. We need to be fighting the con that is austerity, the Corporations, the City, not our own Party.

  • We demand that Iain Duncan Smith is made to account for lies used to support his sanction policies
    This is important because just because of his position doesn't mean he should get away with flaunting the law and due process. As a politician he should be made to account for his actions. He was duly elected to be a true and right minister in Parliament. His actions are causing many to suffer and if his policies that do so are flawed then they should be removed or he must give this account.

  • Give me back my Labour leadership vote!
    We need a real alternative to the Tories. Labour needs to accept the democratic will of the people and stop their dirty tactics against Jeremy Corbyn.

  • Stop Bombing Syria
    The war in Syria has been going on too long and too many innocent people have been killed and are still being killed each and every day, and it is us who are killing them. Allowing our government to send RAF planes to drop bombs on innocent people is nauseating. Why are we involved? do we think this is helping the people of Syria? If we want to help the people of Syria, then allow more asylum seekers into the UK, that would be helping. How can you think it is right to bomb a country to smithereens , kill its people and then say no to allowing them a safe haven when they reach our shores. What hypocrisy! So far the 250,000 people who have been killed and maimed up to four times that number, according to the UN’s most senior humanitarian official, about 12,000 of that are Children We should not be apart of this war, and should stop all bombing of the innocent men, women and children. Please sign the petition to ask the government to cease fire on Syria now

  • Qualification for becoming an MP
    For too long the United Kingdom has been governed by a multitude of Career Politicians who know nothing about life in the real world. By using this as a qualifying standard we can ensure the people elected to govern have the experience and skills to do just that.

  • Abolish/ reform House of Lords
    It is a draconian outdated privileged system which maintains a revolting class system within this country. Only people worthy of such a second chamber, people who have done immense good for others not the outdated hereditary system.

  • Take the WAR out of the Bournemouth Air Festival
    We believe we can have an Air show which is fun and entertaining, but does not glamorise war and does not act as a recruitment event for the army and other armed forces. The Bournemouth Air Festival has a large military presence, not just the RAF but the Army and Navy attend, perform and recruit. Recruitment The forces say it is their best recruitment event. The UK is the only country in the EU who recruit 16 year old children, and a study by human rights groups ForcesWatch and Child Soldiers International in 2013 found that soldiers who enlisted at 16 and completed training are twice as likely to die in Afghanistan as those who enlisted aged 18 or above. We support education for young people on the true nature of military service and war Glamorisation We do not believe that is it respectful to those who have fought and those who have died to glamorise war. Sanitised war game entertainment is the biggest insult to the harrowing experience of those who fight. Respect We support real practical help for veterans Help with mental health services, Healthcare, retraining and housing.

  • Stop Pension Freezing
    It is important because the existing practice is unfair, dishonest and discriminatory all of which are un-British. It often results in pensioners who have gone to live with their families in countries like Canada or Australia having to sponge on their children or return to a lonely life in the UK where, of course, they become a burden on the NHS. The exclusion of British pensioners in most countries from receiving their rightful pension is irrational. Pension freezing means that after twenty years a pensioner is getting less than half of his or her entitlement. Our Government claims to be fair and honest but it seems to be unfair and dishonest. If we all pay the same compulsory contributions we should all get the same pension.

  • Dissolve Paliament and Initiate a General Election
    In 2015, 66.1 % of the UK voted. The Conservative party got 36.8% of those votes. Which, in reality, means 24.3% of the UK population voted conservative, leaving 75.7% of the population with a government they did not vote for. Dissatisfaction with austerity measures have seen socialist governments taking power across Europe, yet the UK 2015 General Election saw the UK buck the trend and look to a right wing party - UKIP - to represent popular dissatisfaction with mainstream politics. I believe this happened because the UK did not have a socialist party to vote for. But we have one now. Should the people of the UK wait four years under a government that is trying to repeal the hunting ban, against their wishes, initiated bombing runs over Syria in secret, and against the people's wishes, maintains levels of austerity against the people's wishes, and is negotiating the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership deal in secret, against the people's wishes? When there is now a viable alternative party which is anti war, in line with the people's wishes, anti austerity, in line with the people's wishes, and who stands for a more equal society, in line with the people's wishes. Big businesses are threatened with more taxes, harsher penalties, and tighter regulation, so will naturally spend the next 4 years attempting to rubbish and marginalise Jeremy Corbyn. Why should the majority population allow that to happen? I am interested to know how many people want a General Election in 2016. That's not to say this petition is merely a piece of research. If enough people want it, then we shall have it: the people are legally entitled to demand policy changes, or even a General Election, and under the rules of the Commonwealth, the reigning monarch has the authority to dissolve parliament (which Queen Elizabeth did, in Australia, in 1975 - this is no technicality, but an authority that has been used in recent history).

  • Ensure proper conduct in election campaign
    I would like to put a formal complaint in about the three candidates Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendal and Andy Burnham for the derogatory comments that all three have made about Jeremy Corbyn in their own election campaigns. This contravenes number 3 and number 13 of the code of conduct of election candidates where they will not 'disparage or brief' against other candidates. I find this behaviour against Jeremy absolutely abhorrent. The general public have been inspired and motivated to take part in this election and have had their faith in politics renewed. The smear campaign against him by the other candidates as well as Tristram Hunt and Simon Danzuk MP's and Tony Blair and Gordon Brown has been disgusting and a slur on the Labour Party. In my opinion this needs to stop immediately and apologies should be made,
