• Parliamentary Elections by Proportional Representation
    1. The influence of the 2 main parties (both currently in chaos) is reduced avoiding the confrontational debates (- and we can have a new circular debating chamber outside London designed to avoid opposing benches) 2. Minor parties (Greens, UKIP) get fairer representation. 3. The Labour and Conservative parties could split yet still retain their voices. 4.The resulting Coalitions require politicians to COMPROMISE. 5. We avoid being governed by a party which represents a minority of the people.

  • Stop proposed cuts on home to school transport for special needs children
    I have children that need this service as do many more children throughout the country, it is a vital service and changing the criteria and eligibility will have consequences for many of these children and their families. Just because L.A's and councils need to make spending changes does not mean it should happen at the expense of our children

  • Put same restrictions on e-cigarettes as regular tobacco.
    The recent findings on 'popcorn lung', a condition that I understand is irreversible (unlike the effects of tobacco smoke which are reversible) would suggest to any responsible person that these products should not be allowed to be used in public or around children. Is it fair to expect children to be sat in cars breathing in this poison when it's doing irreversible damage to their young and tiny, developing bodies. Please make this happen. It's the only responsible thing to do, for our childrens sake.

  • Ban Dangerous Pesticides in parks and land managed by or on behalf of Sefton Council.
    The use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees.

  • AFTER EFFECTS OF STATIN'S
    I am a 76 year old was born with club feet and my last operation was in 1954. I was very grateful to the NHS, for I never had any trouble ALL my working life, as a HGV Class ! driver. Two year's ( at 74 ago I had to visit the doctor for a well person check up. I was told that my Cholesterol was High 6.7 and that I must go on Statin's, which of course I did , after 3 month's I could hardly walk and the muscle's in my legs started to disappear, the answer I got from my doctor was "ALL TABLET'S HAVE SIDE EFFECTS ". Over the last two years I must have cost the NHS a fortune , but they all have the same answer Oh No it's cant be statins because everything goes back to normal when you STOP taking them. That's rubbish for they have ruined the nerves in my feet, Handling my feet is not a problem, but WALKING is a different , I now have to use a arm stick, so now I have knee and back problem's trying to lean against the sore feet.

  • Maintain UK science funding
    The UK is one of the science power-houses in the world. We attract and produce some of the best scientists and contribute greatly to increasingly important scientific areas including cancer, bacterial resistance, renewable energy and food research as well as a whole host of research areas that span all areas of science, technology and engineering. Leaving the EU has the worrying potential to restrict the amount of funding these research areas get, causing the UK to fall behind in world leading research but also slowing scientific progress. The UK is part of EU funded projects such as Horizon 2020. As a PhD student in cancer research I have seen first hand in the labs the reaction to the UK leaving the EU. Everyone is worried about what this means for science here and whether we'll be able to maintain our excellent work. This petition is to raise awareness in the hope that we can get a deal whereby scientists and funding can move between countries as easily as possible in order for research to progress as it always has done.

  • Bar Nigel Farage from all Greene King pubs
    Whether by accident or design, Nigel Farage has become strongly linked to Greene King IPA. Pubs quite rightly bar some people for their unpleasant or offensive behaviour that upsets decent, well-behaved customers. I'm sure that I and many others were deeply offended and embarrassed by Nigel Farage's recent speech in the European Parliament and would not want to drink in any of your pubs if he were there. Please make Greene King pubs a safe space for decent people

  • Negotiate new trade agreements with non-EU countries
    Less than half our exports of goods and services go to the E.U. - and the proportion has been falling since 2008. We need to secure and improve our trading relations with non-E.U countries to boost exports to them in order to rebalance and stabilise our economy. Obviously negotiations over exports to the E.U will take time but trade agreements between the UK and individual non-E.U countries may be achieved may swiftly.

  • referendum on Trident
    The SNP, Scottish Labour and The Greens are opposed to the renewal of trident and much of the population of the UK is in agreement. We have seen from the Eu referendum that the constituency nations of the UK differ in opinion on important matters. This is one of the most important issues facing us today.

  • Stop the TPP and TISA entering the UK by the back door
    The TPP and TISA will give multinational companies powers which are above the Law. Many people voted to get out of Europe because they agreed with Labour veteran Tony Benn and wanted to stop this agreement in its tracks. There has been very little media coverage of agreements like this which gives corporate entities huge legal powers. Open and honest discussion is essential and long overdue.
