We Want Our Say! We are fed up with 650 MPS deciding our fate. We should have the opportunity, in a modern democracy, to have our say on individual issues, not just one tick for a party. We call for a commission to be set up immediately to decide the questions (defense budgets, health budgets, Trident , HS2, HS3, mayor for Manchester and many others) that can be put to public vote in the May 2015 election

The same perpetrators who promoted and operated Ark were responsible for Capita Oak, and they are still out there right this minute doing the same thing day in, day out. Thousands of victims, hundreds of millions of pounds worth of pension funds. This is now seriously out of hand and desperately urgent. Too many families have been destroyed and hurt, pensioners can't afford to eat are paying bills, over 12 suicides and people taking nervous breakdowns and families losing there homes and there's been no help or support from the government. The Ark victims AND the Capita Oak victims have for many months been asking the Police, Action Fraud, TPR, the Pensions Ombudsman and the government to take action and nothing has been done.

"Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's appearance and bizarre behaviour during Prime Minister's Questions on the 26th of November 2014 begs the question of whether or not he was or had recently been under the influence of drugs. The government's exponentially failing drug policy puts public health at risk and defies the advice of their own researchers, whilst lining the pockets of dubious pharmaceutical companies and criminal gangs dealing on the black market. It is also in the public interest to know whether MPs are dabbling in legal highs, in a bid to escape failing a conventional drug test."

This is important because he has backed Andrew Mitchell for the last two years, since "plebgate" started, now officially said MP has been told, by a judge of his peers, he probably did call that hard working police officer "a pleb".

We are increasingly seeing our elected politicians, especially the ones who come from privileged and elite backgrounds, being out of touch with us, the majority of the public. It is my opinion that we can't entirely blame them because they simply don't fit into our shoes. It is important that we elect one of us to the high offices at Westminster so that they understand our plights when debating and passing laws. At the moment the rich and the powerful, including the rich politicians, look after only themselves and behave with so much immunity, that we are left speechless. If we want to change the world around us, we have to start from the basics: select and elect only the representatives who have hearts, brains as well as ears.

People are under threat and we owe our thanks and should give them safety. I am and was against this war but these people are being let down by our country - they are not at fault, the UK is.

The commissions report on 27.11.2014 are not the powers that were promised. Many voters in Scotland voted no as a result of HOME RULE being promised. The new devolution settlement falls far short of this and as such does not constitute home rule. Therefore the result was based on a lie making the previous result null and void.

1. London is becoming a victim of its own success: a hellishly expensive place to live, work and do business. 2. At the same time London's pull on resources and wealth has become a drain on the rest of the UK, plunging many regions into permanent economic decline. Parliament and government are widely regarded as having a London-centric bias (public spending figures certainly bear this out) and the location of both in London undoubtedly contributes to this. 3. In addition, the presence of Parliament & Government in London effectively acts as a massive public subsidy to ironically the one region of the UK that really doesn't need it! A subsidy that could be better spent elsewhere. 4. Currently the Palace of Westminster needs repairs totalling up to £3 BILLION and may have to close for up to 5 years. Moving Parliament to new, purpose built accommodation in the heart of the UK would save this money by selling off the non-historic parts of Westminster, raising millions given London property prices. Governments love privatising things - why not Westminster? 5. We also believe housing politicians in 'Palaces' is wrong - it gives them delusions of grandeur! 6. Money would also be saved by the lower cost of MPs home and office accommodation outside London and no longer having to pay London-weighted salaries to civil servants. All at a time when spending cuts are needed to tackle the national debt. Let's cut politician's costs not nurses, teachers or police. 7. Trust in our democracy is also at historically low levels and a clean break from a past mired in scandals would help to restore that trust. Moving MPs into the heart of the UK and into a new parliament building which places openness, transparency and public access at its centre will help to restore that trust. 8. Moving Parliament out of a dominant London will also ensure Parliament follows policies for the good of the whole country rather than its current London-centric focus. 9. The time is right to renew our democracy - and renewing our Parliament should form a central part of that.

This will allow us to once more elect honest representatives whom we can trust and who will stand by their word and work for those who elect them and their constituencies.

In times of reduced public spending on services like Education and NHS this an insult to those who are loosing services. This leaves aside the low level of income for many households in the region. How many actually have a comparable income with 2 adults working? Lead by example.

The public no longer trusts politicians and will stop voting if trust cannot be restored. Following the break of Nick Clegg's pledge on tuition fees, politicians could see that his party remained in the coalition government and he remained as leader. The country needs honesty from politicians, it's ok to say 'we'll try to do something' even if they fail in delivering, but if they say they 'will do something' the electorate are entitled to believe they have done their homework and are positive they can deliver, otherwise they shouldn't promise. When politicians lie to get office or make claims they haven't thought through, they damage democracy. They should also make it clear before an election, which manifesto promises are negotiable in the event they are asked to form a coalition. It is a fundamental breach of contract to gain office on the strength of promises made and then renege on those promises when in power. The electorate needs to show there will be consequences if they do.

How far will we allow corporate interests to run our Government's environment policies and dismantle the biosphere before we finally scream "ENOUGH!" ? The natural environment we are leaving to our children and grandchildren is already massively degraded, and if narrow corporate interests continue to be pandered to by our government, who have instituted wicked mechanisms by which to undermine our care for the environment, even this damaged inheritance will be lost. Full details of the underhanded, cynical and biased way the Government is undermining our natural patrimony can be found in George Monbiot's excellent article on the following link: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/georgemonbiot/2014/nov/21/we-need-nature-wellbeing-act-protect-wildlife-decline?CMP=share_btn_fb The Nature and Wellbeing Green Paper drawn up by the RSPB and Wildlife Trust offers an antidote to the toxic behaviour of the Government. A link to it can be found on the article by George Monbiot (URL given above). We know that people power CAN change government policy, because it is WE, the VOTERS, who tick the boxes in elections. So please use your power for the sake of both Nature and future generations! Every email or letter sent to your MP, pressuring him or her to put Nature first by pushing for the adoption of the Nature and Wellbeing Paper as law, will make an important difference. Thank you !
