• 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.

  • Ban Britain First from Facebook
    In the current UK climate, incidences of extreme and vile racism have increased by 57% since the EU referendum. While most people can accept and debate the outcome of the result with consideration, it has become apparent that many others have now found a "voice" to incite violence and hatred to those that may have been unfairly portrayed as symptomatic to the countries issues. As Facebook has always set itself as an open and inclusive social media platform, "It's free and always will be", it also has a duty to ensure that it's billions of users are safe on it, and that those outside of such a group are not at risk from such. A group 'liked' by 1.5m people which shares and actively comments with such hatred on minorities, religions and races should have no place on the major social media platform.

  • Ikea to recall Malm chest of drawers in the UK too!
    A piece of furniture doesn't become safer just because it's in a different country (where the population is slightly less likely to seek compensation). Malm furniture has taken the lives of several children in the US and Ikea has taken the correct course of action in recalling the related items. They should be taking the correct course of action here in the UK too and wherever else these items have been sold. Yes the instructions do warn that furniture should be attached to a wall to make safe but buyers were not made aware of this at the time of purchase because it is not implicit that the furniture Must be attached. What about all the customers who were sold this furniture who rent? Many of them cannot just knock holes in their walls even if Ikea do supply the attachments for free. Be fair to your customers it can't be one rule for US and another for the UK.

  • Rename Anti depressants (MOOD ENHANCERS)
    Such a stigma associated with the words anti depressants making people with mental health issues reluctant to talk about their issues Saying I am taking mood enhancers is so much more socially acceptable and easier to say to people,the words I am taking anti depressants make people think you are some kind of nut job and in my experience people tend to keep their distance from you or avoid interaction with you all together which only exasperates the situation.

  • Taking back control of essential services & industries
    In the post brexit world it will be essential for our country to be in full control of all the means necessary to survive. On our own we would have a diminished ability to negotiate favourable terms with the rest of the world and In such circumstances we cannot risk putting ourselves into a position where we can be held to ransom by any foreign government or multinational corporation. The only way this can be guaranteed is to own and control all the things required to be self sufficient in what will become a hostile trading climate.

  • Ban fracking in Scotland - NOW
    Fracking affects us all - Scotland is beautiful, its our greatest asset and fracturing the earth to obtain natural gas will lead to multiple issues affecting peoples everyday lives. Our water table is at risk, fracking involves drilling and injecting water, sand and chemicals hundreds of feet into the earth. This results in contamination of deep water sources. Climate change, because fracking can seriously damage the water supply, then the whole cycle of water in the environment is affected, this may lead to drought increase. Peoples Health is affected, methane gas in the air, chemical pollutants in the water. There are cancer concerns in areas where fracking has been prevalent. Property affected negatively in fracking areas, insurance companies refusing to insure buildings. Smell of gas in the air. Noise of drilling especially in rural and semi rural areas, affecting quality of life for humans and animals alike. Jobs promised - far fewer jobs than promised Cheap gas - evidence suggests this is not the case There are many more reasons, but let's stop it happening here. Let's stop big business and cronyism benefiting at our expense, stop them by-passing planning and environmental laws to suit their own ends. Stop them ruining our fantastic country. Sign this petition and urge Scottish Government to ban fracking NOW.

  • Reform or abolish the House of Lords as it is unelected and undemocratic
    We have elected to leave the EU, one of the main campaign issues was that the EU Commission is not Elected. The House of lords is Also NOT Elected, so therefore unfair and undemocratic, lords are appointed not elected by the people. For example; David Cameron can appoint more Tory peers to the House of Lords.

    Submission of the Article 50 Notice will start an irreversible process that will have profound consequences for decades to come.
