There have been so many changes while the Conservative party have been in charge. Do the Great British public trust that the Conservative party are competent to continue to lead the country? It is now time to let the public have a say.

The public has spoken. They want a general election now. A poll commissioned by the Mirror found that two-thirds of the general public want to head to the polls by the summer. After 14 years of Tory rule - and a host of failed leaders being chosen by a few thousand Conservative members rather than at the ballot box - people have had enough. Rishi Sunak has appeared to promise a vote will be held during this calendar year - before the theoretical deadline of January 2025 set out by the Fixed-term Parliament Act. But many in Westminster believe the Tories will cling on for a few more months and refrain from calling a vote until October. This is simply too long. Rishi Sunak has run Britain since October 2022. Never at any stage has the electorate been asked to choose him as their Prime Minister. This wait must end now. (Deltapoll interviewed 1,642 adults online between December 22 and 29. The data have been weighted to be representative of the British adult population as a whole.)

By signing this petition, you'll be sending a clear message to the Scottish Government. The Government need to act on these 5 asks, to get the region #BackOnTrack!

Boris Johnson resigned in disgrace. But despite his actions around the Partygate scandal he's still had an honours list approved that gives the likes of Jacob Rees Mogg and Priti Patel knighthood and damehood. People who tried to defend and prop up Johnson's dodgy behaviour should not be rewarded with a lifetime position in the House of Lords. Right now the list has been approved, but the honours have not yet been awarded. A huge public outcry could get Rishi Sunak to rethink this list - and block it before it goes any further!

Boris Johnson should be removed from power to stop him making more unlawful decisions. "The proposal for the prime minister to remain in office - for up to three months - having lost the support of his cabinet, his government and his parliamentary party is unwise, and may be unsustainable. In such a circumstance, the prime minister maintains the patronage and, of even greater concern, the power to make decisions which power of will affect the lives of those within all four nations of the United Kingdom and further afield. Some will argue that his new cabinet will restrain him. I merely note that his previous cabinet did not - or could not - do so. For the overall wellbeing of the country, Mr Johnson should not remain in Downing Street - when he is unable to command the confidence of the House of Commons - for any longer than necessary to effect the smooth transition of government." Sir John Major - Former Conservative Prime Minister

If Boris Johnson is appointed to the House of Lords, despite a catalogue of improper behaviour, it will bring that institution into disrepute.

Any day now it's expected to be announced that former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre will be added to the House of Lords. In his time at the Mail, Paul Dacre has been accused of stirring up hatred against immigrants, politicians and judges alike - and now he could have a say on how the UK is run. And he and his paper are even currently facing legal action over alleged privacy breaches. At the very least, he should not be honoured with a peerage while the court case is in progress, but setting aside the legal action, someone like Paul Dacre, who used his time at the Mail to divide the country, represents the opposite of the values of fairness and respectfulness that we share as a country. He’s not the kind of person who should be celebrated by being made a Lord. Right now, it's still not confirmed, but if enough of us speak out against the idea of Paul Dacre being made a Lord, we can make sure his appointment doesn't become a reality.

It's important because people need credit to buy houses etc and to percecute somebody for 6 years is absolutely ridiculous, especially for an amount as low as 1 pence. It's a direct attack by the government to keep people poor and to stop people advancing in life.

The changes to local goverment in Cumbria have see the elections to the new council of Westmorland and Furness take place with the 65 new council memebrs elected to represent the wards they have been elected in. However from the majority group that now controls the council the political group will select the leader of the council and the leader the cabinet memebrs. This petition calls for the new Westmorland and Furness Council to hold a public referendum on the question of should Westmorland and Furness change its structure to have a directly elected mayor as its leader that the voting public select rather than the leaded be selected behind closed doors by memebrs of the majority party on the council. A directly elected mayor would enable voters the choice of who leads the council and would represent the entire council area rather than a leader that is elected by a few 100 voters in a ward and then appointed by a political party/group as the council leader. Democracy need the voting public to have a direct say on who leads our new council and directly elected Mayor to leaded Westmorland and Furness is the only way to deliver this. Supoorting this petition as a registered voter in the Westmorland and Furness Council area will see a referendum held if enough sign the petition were the voting public get to say yes to a mayor. then an election would take place to elect a mayor directy to lead Westmorland and Furness council. For each local authority there is an Executive. Depending on the local arrangements, the Executive is organised in one of three ways: A Leader elected by the Council and a cabinet of Councillors; or A directly elected Mayor and a council manager appointed by the Council. What is a directly elected Mayor? A directly elected Mayor is elected by all the voters in the Council’s area to be the head of the Council’s decision making body. A directly elected Mayor should not be confused with a ceremonial Mayor. Why is a referendum necessary? The introduction of a directly elected Mayor is a significant constitutional change and so a referendum is held to give all voters in the area a chance to choose if they would want this to happen. In order to call a referendum for a directly elected Mayor, a petition must be compiled which is signed by 5% of the number of local government electors that are shown in the current Register of Electors. This 5% figure is called the ‘verification figure’ and is published annually as a formal notice. Please consider signing and sharing this petition calling for a public referendum on a directly elected mayor.

Johnson is refusing to resign. Even though other people resigned having broken the rules. For example, Matt Hancock. If Johnson won't do the honourable thing and resign, it needs to go to a full Parliamentary debate, and make it clear to him - the UK population are not going to stand by, and let him get away with breaking the law, and yet remain in a leadership position
