  • We must have Fair Elections
    It is undemocratic and fundamentally unfair for any political party in any election to get 12.7% of the vote and not get the corresponding number of representatives elected. Whatever you personally may think about any party concerned is irrelevant, it is the principle that voting numbers must be represented correctly by the election results, which is at stake here. In this General Election 2015 a party received equal to 4 million votes and got 1 MP, whereas another party got 1.5 million votes and got 56 MPs. For the sake of our fair and democratic society and a decent electoral system, this has to be changed immediately. To have a healthy democracy the current system cannot be left to continue the way it is.

  • Stop the UK Government eroding People's Union rights
    This is important because it is another example of governments eroding people's rights to withdraw their labour when employers don't pay them enough or put in place policies which change their terms and conditions for the worse. Remember people have died, been forcibly relocated and suffered for the rights you have today. Don't let any government take them away from you.

  • Abolish CAFCASS & CSA
    Because millions of fathers are being persecuted and suffering at the hands of these unfit-for-purpose agencies. It is not CAFCASS' place to assess a father's ability to parent, it is his biological right and the CSA have no consideration for a man's ability to pay and should realistically reflect his financial burdens.

  • stop subsidising fossil fuels
    This is massively important. Governments are subsidising these huge fossil powers to tune of billions to get the ever degrading fossil fuels when we can't afford to be. We all know what the consequences are. We need to cut subsidies and subsidise renewable clean energy instead. The reason? Governments subsidise these powerful elites because their reward comes back to them in the form of massive donations to the parties involved. These companies then have a say in policies. Money talks.

  • End rule by minorities
    40% of people did not vote in the last election as they felt their views were not represented or the current system meant their vote was meaningless. The Government was elected by less than 39% of those who voted. The Government received the votes of less than 20% of those entitled to vote. No Party could claim a Legitimate right rule the country after the last election. First past the post works well in a 2 party system, but that has ended.

  • Fairer representation in Parliament.
    Voters are not fairly represented in parliament. Conservatives won 36% of the vote yet have 51% representation in parliament. The SNP won 4.7% of the vote and have 56 Mp’s; the Greens won 3.8% and have only one MP. UKIP Won votes that amount to 1/3 of the conservative vote and yet the conservatives have 331 seats to UKIP’S 1 seat. This is an affront to democracy.

  • Introduce proportional representation in the United Kingdom
    The 'first-past-the-post' system is archaic and outdated. It is an affront democracy. This was highlighted by the general election results of 2015. How can it be possible for 1.4 million to vote for the Scottish National Party and receive 56 seats in parliament, yet 3.7 million voted for the United Kingdom Independence Party and only received one seat of representation in parliament?

  • Free the "Hound of Hounslow"
    Financial institutions around the world employ the same techniques in market trading as Navinder Sarao. They should be prosecuted as well, and first before prosecuting an individual like Navinder Sarao. In addition, due to the length of time the extradition proceedings are likely to take and the difficulty of the US being able to convince a judge that they do have a case, keeping him in prison is cruel and inhuman. He must be freed on minimum bail and surrender his passport instead.

  • Help the disabled workers
    Read this article from the Independent and let's make our country great again by helping those in need not those who shirk from paying into our system what they owe: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/generalelection/hours-after-the-election-the-dwp-says-it-is-looking-to-cut-a-disabled-access-to-work-scheme-10237191.html I have worked with many disabled people who contribute massively to the business but just need a little support to get to and from their jobs and adaptations to help them cope. I recently worked with a blind lady who was brilliant at her job. Stop the new wave of Tory cuts. It targets those in need.

  • Motion of No Confidence in Conservative Government
    In the past five years under a Conservative/ Liberal Democrat coalition, many things have changes, and the majority of them not for the better. Austerity, we are told, is our only option, but instead of taking from the top and putting the squeeze on people living extravagant lifestyles, the welfare system for the poorest, most vulnerable, youngest and the disabled has instead been hacked away at, pushing millions into poverty. University level education is once again moving towards being for only the privileged few at £9000 per year, pricing out many who wish to study key subjects such as medicine, sciences and teaching, pushing the remaining doctors, nurses and other NHS employees, research scientists and teachers to their limits as no fresh talents enters their job pools. The NHS itself is being broken apart and is failing on so many levels, with many points of service stretched beyond breaking point, staff overworked, underpaid and undervalued, money cut from an essential public service where the alternative is one of the most expensive outgoings possible, and completely unrealistic to expect people to pay in times of austerity. We are also facing rising cost of living while wages stagnate, making life a struggle for those who work full time hours and do not qualify for any benefits or help, and with rising food, electric, gas and fuel prices, it is not a surprise that so many families are being forced into poverty, not to mention the younger generation who are trying to strike out into the job and property market for the first time, only to find their wages do no cover basic living needs and the job market is stretched beyond belief, with hundreds of people applying for single job positions, all desperate for a job while the Conservatives gleefully cut away at their support with a mantra of "If you had a job, this wouldn't be happening." The truth is, our country is broken, and further welfare cuts to the disabled, the vulnerable, the young, new mothers (statutory maternity pay is one of the items on the list the Conservatives with to get rid of, leaving even working mothers with nothing while they recover from having their child, and leaving no time to bond with said child,) and those seeking jobs that simply are not there, not to mention the victims of ATOS, a system which recalls claimants who have lost limbs in case they will grow back, and that declares cancer sufferers fit to work on their death beds, and has driven people to suicide. This all on the back of the fact that Iain Duncan Smith, a man who refused to take part in an experiment to see if he could survive on £58 per week (JSA), as he knew full well he could not, is being investigated for human rights violations in regards to the cuts to disability benefits and ATOS, along with the disastrous 'work for your benefits' schemes which were found to be unlawful. The whole point to this is, unfortunately, due to fear and a lot in part to media manipulation, we have a government who is utterly out of touch with the working class, and refuse to cut from their own pockets for the good of the country. Lowering the 50p tax rate, tax cuts for the richest, the richest in Britain being able to double their fortunes in 5 years, bankers bonuses still being awarded despite it being them who started this ball rolling for the recession. And all of this while children are going to bed hungry because their parents cannot afford the rising cost of housing, food, petrol, gas, electricity, essentials. This is why I submit that a vote of no confidence to this Conservative government. This government is out of touch with their electorate, and have benefited from misleading the general public. Now, it's time to take a stand a form a national government we can all be proud of. We need a government that looks out for the interests of the many, not simply of the few, and we need our messages to be heard. We need welfare cuts to stop, and bankers cuts to start. We need financial equality, and we need more public forums and public meetings from the government to address national and local issues and help to deal with them effectively. The era of being locked away behind a black door needs to come to an end. Politics needs to be for the many, not simply for the few.
