• Andrew Lansley should not be appointed as UN Secretary for Humanitarian Affairs
    The role of this UN secretary is vitally important in saving lives and livelihoods in emergencies that arise as a result of man-made and natural disasters. It is a post that requires experience, and knowledge of international relief efforts and diplomatic skills to permit the co-ordination of relief efforts by various nations at a time of great need. Lansley does not have such experience or knowledge and he is not a trained diplomat.

  • 'None of the Above' ballot option
    At present voters in the UK do not have an option to indicate their lack of confidence in any of the candidates (or their parties). If they write their concerns on a ballot paper it is treated as a spoilt paper. I believe we should have the right to express our views if we feel that none of the candidates are suitable to become members of parliament.

  • Stop exposing Scots kids to accident-prone Nuclear subs and toxic waste.
    It is important because 1. There have been countless alarming incidents causing psychological anxiety to local residents 2.There are no guarantees we will not have another major incident like Chernobyl 3.Scots and their children are made the fall guys and targets while Westminster shows abusive indifference. 4. London and Southern England would not accept them in their backyard.

  • We Want Our Say!
    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

  • WHEN WILL YOU LISTEN
    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.

  • Houses of Parliament should represent the Majority
    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.

  • Politicians must keep promises or lose power
    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.

  • Stop the right wing slide of this country!
    Many ordinary people in this country fear another Tory government and are also concerned about the rise of UKIP. If the result of the 2015 election is similar to the 2010 result we do not want a tory government of any sort! The only way to achieve this in my view is a coalition of left wing parties. All three parties together would be a government of social, economic and environmental justice for all and not just the wealthy elite. We call for the three party leaders to come together now and agree to a true power sharing coalition in the event of a hung parliament. If this happens, then if you vote labour you'd get Labour, If you vote Lib Dem you'd get the Lib Dems and if you vote Green you would get the greens. Please, do this for the good of the whole country!

  • Parliamentarians vote for their self-interest
    This practice is blatantly corrupt and a blight on the reputation of the "mother of parliaments". Perhaps that phrase is meant to refer to the U.S. meaning of "mother". It should not.

  • Independent Enquiry for Scotland v England Goal Count
    This is important as there is masses of evidence (sorry, we don't have any of it to show you) that proves that the Scotland v England football game, played on the 18th November 2014, was rigged in favour of England by the Westminster Establishment. The fact that 3 Scotland goals were found in a bin behind the BBC HQ is just one bit of proof we have of this claim (again, sorry we have no proof of the claim. I'm sure we can make a video or something). We all know that Scotland actually won, so please sign this petition!
