Call a General Election Within 6 Months of the Vote to Leave the European UnionWithout a general election, only 150,000 Conservative Party members will have the power to decide who the next Prime Minister is, and by extension the team who will negotiate our exit from the European Union. This is unacceptable. The EU referendum has proved that this country is deeply divided. Now is the time to allow people to try and come together behind a particular vision of post-Brexit Britain. The binary nature of this referendum has been divisive -- only a general election is the right way to try and build bridges to the future.268 of 300 SignaturesCreated by James Blanchard

We Want Proportion RepresentationThe 'great British democracy' which you have campaigned so passionately for in recent months needs changing. An Oxford educated man will understand that the current first past the post system is failing. For to long have we had to live with an outdated electoral system which leaves millions of us unrepresented. In the 2015 general election 5.1 million people voted for UKIP and Green and each received only 1 seat. Whereas the Lib Dems received 2.4m votes and won 8 seats! I speak as someone who has been unrepresented in parliament ever since I came of age, I voted in the last electoral reform referendum which was a mere humor exercise as the vote amounted to no real change. If you are gong to 'bring democracy back', bring a representative one. P.S. if you have time also reform the House of Lords - your campaign made a point of highlighting the unelected European Commission yet you seem to forget your friends, the appointed 'Lords'.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jack ashby

The prospective leader of the Conservative party must pledge that £350m a week go to the NHSThe NHS is a dearly loved institution that is been squeezed by cuts, and one which faces an uncertain future in light of the EU referendum result and that 10% of its workforce comes from overseas. In order to protect its status as the best health service in the world, we need to ensure that it is properly funded. A family member is a nurse and their ward faces privatisation. This is not because it underperforms, but because of the revenue it brings to the hospital trust. The trust nonetheless does not have the capital to purchase new equipment, forcing it to consider private investment to meet this shortfall. Going forward, the extra revenue generated from the ward will go into private hands and not be reinvested for the benefits of patients. We can resolve this by ensuring the promises made by the leave campaign are met, overturning years of under investment that threatens patient safety, and which has put doctors at the mercy of hard nosed contractual negotiations by the Secretary of State.3,909 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Simpson

Protect the rights of E.U citizens living in the UKThere is much fear and uncertainty in a post-Brexit world, especially for E.U citizens who are currently living in the U.K. They have built our country, contributed to our economy, taken care of our elderly, taught us, healed us, loved us, started families with us, become our friends and colleagues. They have given so much to us, now we must do the same for them. The only difference between U.K. citizens living here and E.U. citizens living here is a passport, therefore their rights should be protected with absolutely no change. --------------------------------------------------------------- Picture credit: Medics at Homerton University Hospital64,394 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Ruth Lyons

REQUEST TO CAMERON HE STAYS IN TILL END OF TERMDear All... I am not Cameron's greatest fan. He has however, just led us through one of the most profound exercises in democracy in recent British history. And considering he has been through his own baptism of fire, he has done this with a good degree of elegance. The outcome is not what Cameron, or 48% of those who voted, wanted. But he has not made "a mistake". He has not acted unethically. He will surely have learnt much from the past few months. Like a captain who has steered his ship through unchartered waters, he has brought it through, if not where he hoped. So why, why, with this experience which will have strengthened him, given him a calibre rarely acquired by most, would he step down? It is my belief that stepping down, while seemingly an act of integrity and high mindedness, is in fact deeply misguided. We are now going to be subject to the election of a leader who will represent 150,000 votes. This, while not being a reason for Cameron to retract, is already untenable. Cameron's resignation is adding a complete double whammy to the roller coaster ride ahead of us. The last thing we need is a largely unvoted for leader. What we do need is a leader who despite this act of democracy having an outcome other from his hoped for outcome, still has the strength to carry the country through. To me what Cameron is doing is akin to that crazy habit of troops leaving a war zone just because one side has won or lost. It exacerbates the resulting impact. I would like to write a letter to Cameron to request that if enough of us vote for his remaining throughout his term, that he heavily considers the "will of the people". Please let me know what you think. My letter to David Cameron, which I am happy to have revised, is below. (I shall await for potatoes being thrown my way!) "Dear David, You have just facilitated one of the most profound acts of democracy in recent British history. You have done this with strength, and for the most part, a great deal of integrity, and elegance. It is my belief that as the current leader of this country, or captain of a ship, to use one of your euphenisms, you have been through your own baptism of fire that will have provided a strength and experience rarely acquired. I have never understood the policy of resigning because a result is different from the original intention. It is not failure. It is simply a different outcome. As such, I believe your act of resignation, though seemingly high minded, is deeply misguided. It is now, that we need you, above all, to continue what you began. We do not need the double whammy of an unelected leader, (save for 150,000 votes), that does not represent "the will of the people". This is akin to troops being instructed to leave a war zone when one side has won or lost, and we well know the catastrophe that that leaves in its wake. The "right thing to do," now, is to stand strong, as you have done, and stay in place till the end of your term. What the country needs at this point is continuity and stability, and the person who conducted this entire referendum, who has gained massive strength from it, has to be the one who remains at the helm. To do this will take you into the realm of statesmanship. I vote that should "the will of the people" opt for your remaining, till the end of this term, that you do so. Respectfully, Jill Bonney,17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jILL Bonney

Commit to a referendum on the revised terms of our relationship with the EUDuring the referendum on Britain's EU membership, both sides argued with great passion and urgency over what the future would hold if Britain were to keep or discard its EU membership. Given that many disputed claims were made on both sides over the consequences and opportunities of Brexit, more important than the decision to leave the EU, is the decision over what relationship remains with the EU. Knowing how consequential the new relationship with the EU will be for communities across Britain - in terms of trade access, rights to live and work on the continent, or which social consumer and environmental standards emerge at the end of Article 50 negotiations - we ask that these terms of this revised relationship be put to a majority vote of the British people. To not seek the consent of the British people on the terms our revised relationship will undermine the democratic basis on which the Brexit vote was made, with far-reaching consequences for the future of our democratic practices and culture.161 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Leo Pollak

Nigel Farage: call to apologise for "without a single bullet being fired"Last week Jo Cox MP was gunned down after her surgery. Bullets were indeed fired in the lead up to this vote.
