In 2011, only 35% of young people voted in the Welsh Assembly elections, compared to 70% of those aged 65+. Young people are disengaged, disinterested and overlooked. But how can we expect young people to take an interest in something they've never been educated about? #TheAmendment will set in law things that Bite The Ballot have been doing for the last five years: > We believe local Electoral Registration Officers have a duty to make sure everyone is registered to vote. > If certain groups of people are less likely to be registered, then Electoral Registration Officers need to go that extra mile to get those groups on the register. > As well as targeting these groups, we believe Electoral Registration Officers should go into Welsh schools and colleges to run voter engagement sessions. The final thing that #TheAmendment will do is make registering to vote as easy and straightforward as possible: > We want to make it possible to register to vote by simply ticking a box at the bottom of a driver's license or a passport application form (this is only on an 'opt-in' basis - none of your details will be shared, unless you agree). On 24 September 2014, Members of the Welsh Assembly, by an overwhelming majority, voted in favour of our idea. But, the Welsh Assembly cannot make laws about voting or elections. This is decided at Westminster. That's why we are calling on all Members of the House of Lords to listen to us and vote in favour of #TheAmendment. And that's why we need you to to persuade them to listen, turn up to the debate - and vote.

For too long we have sung "Flower of Scotland" in official capacities despite it not being our national anthem. While the song had a relevance in the late '70s and '80s, we now have a devolved parliament and a collective push to build a better Scotland. What does it say about us that we sing Flower of Scotland? Why then do we consider it appropriate to sing a song which mentions our nearest neighbours, as if to define ourselves, we can only do so by exclaiming what we are not? Why do we sing about an indecisive victory from 700 years ago and not the wealth of ideas, inventions and progresses we have given to the world? Why do we choose not to sing about the wonderful things that make Scotland such a great nation? Why do we choose to sing a slow, backward-looking dirge in an attempt to energise and inspire our sporting teams? It is time for the people of Scotland to have a national anthem that energises and inspires them and their sporting teams. It is time for the people of this proud nation to think about their national anthem and choose a song which better represents them

The current system is demoralising and damaging teachers and stressing students. It is counter-productive, even cruel and therefore destined to fail. If Ofsted were so effective why have we seen a decline in standards in the last twenty years it has exercised its malign influence over education? It should be enough to be good and to be aware of what needs improving in your own school and teachers should be be allowed to use own creative intelligence and professional judgement to bring about the desired change at a rate which is humane and capable of success. The need to allow a long period of peaceful stability is now paramount.

Stop getting involved in Iraq. British people do not want to keep going to war

We, the people of this land, trust that the spirit in which we elect to delegate some authority to government is not abused and that the people we elect into government will look after our best interests. This coalition government has abused that trust and authority and has committed, and continues to commit systematic abuses of the electorates' Human Rights. As such, we have no faith in government and therefore demand that the government resigns immediately as it is no longer considered legitimate by the electorate. The failure of Members of Parliament, specifically those whom hold a Public Office, to resign immediately will result in arrest and detainment pending a trial by jury at Common Law for crimes against humanity, charges of which will be presented in full upon arrest.

Scotland's majority voted no on the basis of this promise.

This is very import, Whitehall has ruled over the lands of England for a very long time. The likes of the Northern cities or Central English cities do not benefit from a centralized government. We need to ensure our local areas can raise and spend money that will benefit our local areas economically and socially. This will allow for the regeneration and growth of our cities and to allow them to become more international cities to attract foreign investment, providing more jobs and economic security. For too long the rule from Whitehall has benefitted the areas within 50km (Greater London), such as public transport, jobs and the economy of the local area. Ensure our MPs are fighting for local issues and are not just elected to live in London for 4 years.

Because of their nature, political parties will try to control this process so that it is in their best interest. The referendum in Scotland has unveiled a level of mistrust in Westminster. A commission at the request of Her Majesty The Queen would give people faith in the process.
