End the subsidy of food and drink in parliamentThe tax payer should not have to fund the drinking and eating of the already well remunerated MPs. MPs of all political persuasions should pay the market rates like their electors have too sms show restraint in spending our money. We need to stop the gravy train and live within our means.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by nicholas short

Codify the UK ConstitutionThis is important for limiting government tyranny and preventing human rights being eroded due to the UK lacking a codified constitution where rights can be defined for all citizens, making it much clearer and easier for citizens to stand up to tyranny4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan Windibank

Waive the unfair parking fines on hospital staffIndigo operate a poorly run car park for the demand it gets, and feel it is appropriate to fine staff because they have to park in the "wrong" space. Help NHS staff do their jobs without worrying about paying thousands of pounds in parking fines and cancel any outstanding debt. We should value our NHS workers, not make them re-mortgage their house to pay fines for something they had no choice over. Why should they save someone's life then find they got a parking ticket?12,755 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Hugh Tonks

Kurdistan IndependenceThe Kurds are indigenous nation who historically have always inhabited their own land, Kurdistan, Land of the Kurds, which stretches over the mountainous chain of the Zagros region and its plains, with a population of more than 40 million, who have retained their societal culture and have preserved their own languages and culture, are perhaps the only nation on earth who are still stateless. After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the Kurds were divided among four newly invented states in the Middle East, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, forming entirely a different ethnic minority in each state while the Kurds were made to lose their own identity in the newly created arbitrary countries, these were compromising homogeneous national groups, their by denying the existence of other national groups within their own borders. The signing of the armistice agreement on 30 October 1918 which signaled the demise of the Ottomans has paved the way for the Treaty of Sevres on 10 August 1920, effectively allowing the allied powers in dividing the Ottoman Empire to implement the Sykes –Picot agreement of 1916 which created artificial countries in the Middle East by drawing a line in the sand and instead of delivering the Kurds from the Ottoman Empire, it marked the beginning of their oppression throughout the Middle EastSubsequent events and the new upheaval in the Middle East, including the falls of successive dictatorial regimes, the rise of radicalism and sectarianism, have added to the instability of the region, created new realities on the ground and have shown that old artificial borders are bound to fail. Our Kurdish leaders as well as the whole of the Kurdish nation have joined in, in demanding to have their own independent Kurdistan. The Kurds are the most freedom loving nations but also the most victimised nation throughout their modern history on this planet, who believe in liberty and democracy, therefore we ask you to support our petition to the British and European Parliaments to lend the Kurds full support in achieving their goals in having an independent state.

Treat drug use as an addiction not as a crime...Despite the fact that I am in agreement with drugs being illegal in the UK. It is to my concern that punishing drug users as criminals causes more harm to the users. Many of these people are pressurised members of the population between 18-29 year olds, who use drugs as an escape from real life troubles.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Stevens

A FULL BAN ON HARMFUL SUBSTANCES (ACID)There has been a great increase in the UK of acid attacks on innocent individuals. Those people have suffered severe burns all over their bodies with substantial facial disfigurement. The injuries the victims have are life changing and have a severe negative impact on both physical and mental health. The purpose of these attackers is to spread terror and fear amongst the general public causing people not to leave their homrs and changing their daily lifestyles. It's vital that the government introduces a strong ban on such substances.356 of 400 SignaturesCreated by TABREZ HUSSAIN

Cheshire East: Save The Millbrook UnitThe proposed closure of the Millbrook Unit has serious implications for the health and wellbeing of thousands of Cheshire East residents across the entire borough and threatens to damage the lives and treatment of so many. Government and council funding cuts have left our local health services stretched to the max, with mental health provision now dangerously poor. The closure of the Millbrook Unit would mean patients and families having to drive over an hour to access the care and treatment they so desperately need and deserve in Chester or on the Wirral. At a time when we are facing a crisis in mental health, we cannot allow this to happen.

Sack racist Anne Marie Morris MPOn 10 July, a recording emerged of Tory MP Anne Marie Morris using the n-word while taking part in a public discussion about Brexit. While attending an report launch event in central London, the Newton Abbey MP used the phrase “real n*****r in the woodpile” to describe a hypothetical scenario in which the UK leaves the EU without a deal. Despite using the highly offensive term, none of her fellow panellists - including other Tory MPs - reacted. Not one. Which is weird because most of us know that using the n-word is wrong. Don't we? YES, WE DO! So it's up to us to show Morris - and anyone else who thinks it's OK to use n-word in any capacity - that it isn't. To remind Morris and her ilk that there's no such thing as a 'totally unintentional' use of the n-word. That language is powerful, and so when you use the n-word - in any context, but especially while holding public office and in a public space - you inflict unimaginable trauma and pain on a significant section of the UK community. And this is unacceptable. Theresa May MP - you and your party have been accused of being callous, inhumane and out of touch with modern Britain. Now more than ever, we need you to be the 'strong and stable leader' you profess to be and take a zero tolerance approach towards those who seek to divide us as a nation. Sack Morris immediately.
