  • Cancel the Parliament summer recess, in order to prepare for our leaving the EU.
    Their duty to the their Constituent's and the Country must come before holidaying. We need to have very clear and immediate action to come up with solutions to the massive upheaval's we are now faced with. It's pretty clear now that there was no strategy in place for the UK's leaving the EU. They should now be made to Sit untill this is resolved. After all there was not going to be any House business that had to be dealt with till after the Holidays. Also I should like to know how in these days of enforced austerity the Bank of England is able to offer the Banks £250 Billion to see them through any upheaval,when they were the root cause of the Global Economy almost being destroyed, and causing Europe to Force austerity upon us, along with the collusion of OUR Parliament. We're out of the EU and need to adapt for our new circumstances to the best of all our abillities now, not after the Summer Holiday Recess.

  • Mr Hannan, give a date for your resignation
    MEP Hannan has been one of the most vocal adversaries of the continuing participation of the United Kingdom in the European Union. He has claimed that he has no wish or need to remain as MEP. Yet days pass and he has not given any statement as to how he intends to follow through and make his intentions effective. Now that, at his request, the British public have voted him out of a job, it is important that he actually leaves his job. The ability of British politicians to follow through and act on their stated intentions is indispensable at this time of crisis. On it depends the credibility of our representatives among the public and on the international stage.

  • Councillors' UK Constitution Convention
    The EU referendum campaign and result has revealed a huge, almost unbridgeable, gulf between the concerns of the majority in this country and the MPs who are supposed to represent those views in parliament. This is a crisis of representative democracy that can be wholly attributed to the failure of our unwritten constitution and electoral systems. We need a new constitutional settlement for the people of the UK but it needs to be drawn up, not by the UK government and its civil servants in London, but by representatives who are closer to the people: our local authority councillors.

  • Free vote in parliament to decide whether (or not) to leave the EU
    It is now very clear that the implications of leaving the EU are much more damaging for the living standards of UK citizens that many people who voted to leave were led to believe. Many voted out of frustration at government and the unfairness in the country without perhaps realising how dire the consequences of leaving the EU would be for many people in the UK - especially the most vulnerable. MPs took the lead in voting to abolish capital punishment despite contemporary public opinion in favour of its continuance. Now is the time for them to take the lead again and act to save us all from a colossal folly.

  • Legalise Cannabis
    Now that we are no longer in the EU we as a nation need to secure more jobs, more revenue and most of all keep our health services up to date with the latest research and advanced technologies available. All over the world studies are proving that cannabis is a very effective form of treatment for hundreds if not thousands of illnesses from back pain to cancer. We recently had a petition that got a response based on out dated information and biased opinions, we are calling our government to base their response on their own personal views based on up to date research and information. The legalisation of cannabis has provided millions of dollars to states in the US. Money which is being used to better their health services, educational systems and much more, why are we not joining in the movement? Legalising Cannabis will help us thrive as a nation through production of hemp products, sales of the herb and mainly help the ill and pained people of the UK. Give us our freedom, end the war on cannabis today!

  • Guarantee All Migrants in the UK the Right to Stay!
    Migrants, refugees and asylum seekers currently living in the UK are our families, our friends, our co-workers, our community, and our culture. Britain's exit from the EU has made all of their futures uncertain. They have the right to be here and to stay here. #theymuststay

  • Free Asthma Inhalers for English Residents
    Asthma is a life threatening condition that needs medication to overcome the struggles of it. 5.5 million people are treated for the condition. On average, three people per day or one person every eight hours dies from asthma. An estimated 75% of hospital admissions for asthma are avoidable and 90% of deaths are preventable. One in 11 children and one in 12 adults has asthma. Yet English residents still have to pay for inhalers, when people living in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland receive them for free. It's not worth the risk of not taking the required medication because some people can't afford it. For more information please visit https://www.asthma.org.uk/

  • Give Pro-EU Brits & EU nationals asylum status to live in Independent Scotland
    For too long, we have been a passively friendly society, saying to our UK friends: as long as the UK stays in the EU, we won't leave you. It's often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that's helped foster a narrative of right-wing extremism and grievance. This Petition will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach. It appears that our friends are in dire need of our help and as a friendly, cultural nation that benefits from all sorts of nationalities from across the world. We need to send a message that we will not allow those unwillingly forced into making their lives more miserable then it already is for them. We hope that the likes of David Cameran understands that this referendum has already caused instability across not only the entire UK but Europe as well. Thanks to this Referendum and the result. It has screwed over many people in not only Scotland but those living in the UK which is all thanks to far-right british nationalism and the propaganda that came with it. We believe a message needs to be sent for those who need help and not let them dead on track to major politcal clashes that will cause bubbles to burst. This pig beared referendum has cause enough damage and we would like to see our future not as a hateful and spiteful independent Scotland but a country that cares about the future of generations to come for all those who live here, including the Welsh. Thank you. - Extremezero the friendly Scottish misanthrope. P.S. There is a hidden message in the description for those who want to cheer up.

  • Investigate allegations that Boris Johnson used the EU Referendum for personal gain
    At the very least this is an unacceptable and serious breach of conduct in terms of the standards of Public Life and NOLAN principles contained in the Standards of Conduct for Public Office. Potentially, this also represents a criminal waste of public resources, and even irreparable damage to the country. NOLAN Principles: 1. Selflessness: Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest. 2.Integrity Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships. 3.Objectivity Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias. 4.Accountability Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this. 5.Openness Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing. 6.Honesty Holders of public office should be truthful. 7.Leadership Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.

  • Accepting the EU Referendum result
    This issue is so important for our country. We are a democracy. It is vital that we accept and respect democratically made decisions, no matter how divisive the underlying issues driving those decisions. Holding a second referendum purely in response to the losing side being unhappy with the initial outcome would be damaging and divisive for our society. It would make a mockery of the democratic process and create still deeper divisions. Emotions in the Remain camp were sure to run high in the event of their losing the Referendum vote. 16 million people voted to Remain. The vast majority will feel they should respect the outcome of the democratic process, even if they do not agree with that outcome. However, it is not right or just that a diehard minority of disatsfied Remainers should attempt to force a second referendum purely on their disagreeing with the outcome of the first vote.

  • Call a General Election in two years when the terms for Brexit are known
    We have all voted with very little knowledge of what our relationship with the rest of Europe - and the rest of the world - will be like if we leave the EU. The two sides in the referendum campaign had wildly different views. We need another vote when these terms have become clearer, or we will be taking a massive leap in the dark.
