Sack Dominic PeacockDominic Peacock is meant to be representing the public, yet how can the public respect him when he has such blatant disregard for Jo, her grieving family and the hundreds of people who loved and admired her. Jo Cox was what every MP should be: brave, kind, decent and a true humanitarian. Dominic Peacock is the total opposite and really lives up to the latter half of his surname. In one stupid tweet he has demonstrated everything that's wrong with politicians today: there are far too few MPs like Jo Cox and way too many Dominic Peacocks - devoid of compassion and empathy, with massive egos and a total lack of common sense. I for one do not want such a pathetic excuse for a man continuing to serve the public, a role he clearly has no aptitude for and does not deserve.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bev Williams

Members of Parliament to be paid same as lowpaid workersSo that MPs are not cushioned from the effects of their decisions ,so they fully understand the problems of low income citizens not just in theory but in direct practice,to give them an practical incentive to improve the lives of the UK.s lowpaid worker, to eliminate careerist /opportunist MPs from our Parliament(I.e those who enter parliament for selfish monetary motives ,or as a stepping stone to careers in the media ,business or the eurocracy),to end the divide between the political elite and the working class of people which is so corrosive to our society,and which leaves the way for unscrupulous demagogues, non democratic ideologists,etc to flourish.,and in many countries has led to extreme political violence. Such a measure would purge our parliament of the selfish8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by brian ogston

Postpone the EU Referendum: Voters need neutral informationIt is not true that there is no objective information about the EU referendum. There are many objective and neutral studies which show the real complexity of the issue. Even now, when both sides of the referendum are apparently trying to have a sensible debate in the wake of the killing of Jo Cox MP, the important details are not being explained to the electorate. Please watch this video for an example of the complexity that has been lost in this debate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USTypBKEd8Y&feature=share3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lindsay Cundall

Stop Donald Trump's Visit to EnglandWatch 'the world at war' and you'll understand how important good working relationships, justice and compassion are. It would also be good to write to TV channels to ask them not to give him coverage should he come to Britain.897 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Sally Phillips

Stop privatisation of Defence Business ServicesVeterans’ welfare, armed forces pensions and the handling of casualty notifications are all at risk as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) plans to privatise its shared services organisation – Defence Business Services (DBS). DBS employs over 2,200 people and is responsible for MoD armed forces and civilian pay, pensions and HR, delivering welfare to 900,000 veterans and their dependents, handling casualty notifications and administration 24 hours a day, UK wide security vetting and making payments to all defence suppliers. MoD’s track record with private companies in DBS generates some big concerns. In 2012, Serco and Accenture were brought in as management partners where they were paid for running the organisation but additionally received 40p for every pound saved via ‘efficiency gains’. This led to reckless cuts, asset stripping and manipulating of performance measures in a profit grabbing frenzy. In many areas of DBS, jobs were cut to generate a saving (and profit for Serco and Accenture) but were then reinstated at a later date. When the Serco-Accenture contract was brought to an end this year, it was hoped that common sense had prevailed. Yet now the MoD want to go one step further by fully privatising the running of DBS. The MoD argue that this will bring them savings but history tells another story. Instead, it will result in cuts to services, putting those who rely on DBS, like veterans, MoD staff and army personnel at risk. It could also open the door to offshoring of work and defence sensitive data as companies seek to maximise profits. The alarm bells don’t stop there. A recent National Audit Office report has revealed that privatisations of other shared services across Whitehall has failed to deliver value for money to taxpayers, with long delays and rising costs. DBS is one of the largest and most complex shared services organisations in Europe, carrying out sensitive and critical services to the MoD, its staff, the armed forces and veterans. The MoD should safeguard this by keeping DBS public.1,351 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Hickman

Release Shafik Rehman, 81, editor held without charge in BangladeshFree voices are being quashed in Bangladesh - whether it is in the press, or bloggers or lecturers. The government has shown that they they can suppress free speech without any recriminations leading others to also take the law into their own hands. Up to now no one has been arrested for the murders of bloggers yet they have arrested Shafik Rehman on the preposterous charge that he was plotting to kidnap the PM's son.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shumit Rehman

Remove Amanda Spielman as Ofsted Chief InspectorThe track record of academy schools is mixed at best with little or no added value achieved in comparison with state schools. Amanda's biased credentials cannot provide an independent perspective on the future of schools. This compromises Ofsted's value and significantly threatens children's education.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Megson

Post-Referendum Election on Leaving EUMost mainstream parties have campaigned against leaving the EU so it is not proper they carry on uninterrupted without seeking a new mandate. Indeed these parties have specifically warned against leaving the EU. In any case members of parliament with conscience could consistently vote to trigger a vote of no confidence in the government.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Jones

End the Tony Blair Witch huntTony Blair is working in the interests of the Labour Party. Tony Blair gave the Tory Party 2 land slide election victories, whilst the current leadership, democratically elected, my be a A Dangerous Experiment, its a democratic experiment. Just because Blair has a different world view to Corbyn that is no grounds to slander him. Blair has a track record (for that period) Corbyn might be right for this time. The Electorate will choose. Splitting the Labour party is reminiscent of Brownites or Blarites. So we now have the Corbinites to divide the party. Blair wants a Labour Victory and feels there is a plan to go for the center ground which is a different plan to that or the left. Is the Labour Party a broad or Narrow church?4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by doug thompson

Postpone the EU ReferendumSunday 5th June - Sir John Major describes Boris Johnson as a "Court Jester" Boris Johnson replies that Sir John is "mad". This is just one example of the pitiful quality of the debate. Is the electorate better informed to make this life changing decision? My answer to this is No. I'm no clearer now about what the £350 Million is all about, its just a number. Do we get anything in return? What about the faceless bureaucracy in Brussels? What do they do? What do they really cost? And the reason my answer is no is because politicians and commentators have not mustered strong arguments, they haven't informed, they have simply mislead - on both sides of the debate. The people who should be congratulated for integrity are Alisha Dixon and 5ive who when they realised they were being used as political pawns, pulled out of the Brexit Event. We cannot allow this to continue to move forward in our name. Please sign my petition.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Beach
