The UK demands a General Election in 2016At such a pivotal moment in history the UK electorate needs to give its sovereign authority to a new government to chart our future course during Brexit negotiations. David Cameron has announced his intention to step down as Prime Minister by the Conservative Party conference in October. Whatever the outcome in this internal process of selecting a new leader, this person, and their colleagues, will be significantly different from the Conservative Party that was elected last year.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Booth

Call for a general election following the resignation of David Cameron.The Conservatives are no longer the party which was elected by a very narrow margin in 2015. Boris Johnson and Michael Gove do not have a mandate to lead the country simply by virtue of being on the winning side. We need a democratically elected government for a new and challenging phase of our country's history.531 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Lucy Townsend

Expand the powers of the Electoral Commission against misinformationAfter a closely fought contest, and the final result which is beyond contention, we must confront the prospect that a portion of the referendum campaigning was based on misinformation, and sometimes outright lying. This petition seeks to draw attention to this, given that the tactics used in this referendum on both sides, such as scaremongering, will more than likely be utilised again, and are damaging to the democratic character of this country. We ask that powers against these be expanded from its current form: “While we have regulatory duties relating to campaign spending, including in relation to political advertising/election material, we have very few powers to deal with the content of material published by candidates and parties, or their general conduct. In most cases we will not be able to deal with such complaints, which should instead be made directly to the party or candidate responsible for the material.” http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/complaints9,626 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by Chris B

Please let's not allow this phenomenonal city to lose the very things that make it what it is - its open-mindedness, its inclusivity and its forward facing outlook.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Hadley

EFDC HIGHWAYSThe presently neglected state of roads and footpaths is a danger to all classes of road users. Pedestrians run the constant risk of tripping on eroded or damaged paths. Holes and other defects in roads are a very serious threat to cyclists and motorcyclists, and motorists are sustaining regular damage to wheels, tyres, and suspension. In the present climate of budget constraints it is right and proper for those responsible for causing damage to pay the costs of repairs, otherwise those costs will be added to the already stretched cost of maintenance.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Harold Blissett

Keep the Pickhurst partnership and community goingThe schools are stronger together and share the same aspirations. The decision for the Infants to join a different Multi Academy Trust has no merit or benefit for the children. Two schools being run by separate Trusts will have an impact on the children and families.215 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Tara Hilson

Save the 20 Bus RouteEssex County Council have decided to withdraw the subsidy for the 20 and 167 bus routes which they currently pay to Transport for London. This is to take effect from April 2016. It is boggling as to how they can propose cuts to the service, let alone the possibility that it could disappear altogether. More info here: http://www.buckhursthillresidents.co.uk/index.php/14-news/104-threat-to-20-167-bus-routes Please also check out https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save-the-167-bus-route for a campaign (by H Chow) hoping to save the 167 route from Debden to Ilford.813 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Sam MP

Force Britten-Norman Manufacturing to pay Reparations to Jo Cox's FamilyAs many of us now know, Britten-Norman flew a self-funded 'Vote Leave' plane over Trafalgar Square at Jo Cox's memorial- silencing her husband temporarily during his tribute to his late wife. This disgraceful act of political points scoring is a prime example of the lack of class and compassion the Brexit campaign holds largely. While the referendum will soon be over with, I believe Britten-Norman should pay reparations to Jo Cox's family due to their gross misconduct. Despite their claims that this was a mistake and the plane was flying several hours later than planned, if it was that much of an error the pilot wouldn't have flown in such proximity to Trafalgar Square, drowning out Jo Cox's husband while he spoke. The aircraft manufacturer should be ashamed of themselves, and should be held accountable for their actions.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sam Anderson

Save HIV services in LewishamThe Terrence Higgins Trust claimed counselling services were threatened by reduced funding in Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. HIV rates in the three London boroughs are far higher than other parts of the UK. The services provided by the Terrence Higgins Trust, which currently provides specialist advice and counselling services for people living with HIV across the three boroughs are currently funded by Lambeth Council, Lewisham CCG and Southwark CCG but are being reviewed this month. Please continue to fund these vital services to vulnerable people in the borough who suffer with HIV.209 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Norton

STOP OUR KIDS SEEING VILE CONTENT IN CO-OP STORESMy 8 year old daughter loves kids magazines and always looks at them in our local CoOp (where they are placed right by the till). She is a prolific reader. I've recently noticed her also looking at the 'women's weekly' magazines. These are placed directly at her eye level and immediately above the kids magazines. This is the case in both our local CoOp store and others I have visited around the country. To my horror, I realised she was reading the headlines... headlines such as "Mum muffled my cries after Dad raped me" and "Sex beasts in my room at bedtime". There have also been images recently of women who have been severely beaten - accompanied by headlines such as "Beaten by thug ex - his poor son saw it all..." As a mother, I do not want my daughter to be bombarded by this sort of content every time I pop for a pint of milk. Displaying this content in such close proximity to children's magazines is, in my view, utterly irresponsible. I asked the manager of my local store to move the magazines to the top shelf out of young children's eyeline. The top shelf currently displays many 'innocuous' titles such as 'Ideal Home' and 'House Beautiful' which could easily be swapped for the 'offending' titles. The manager was sympathetic but advised he could only do this with authority from Head Office. I have tackled the CoOperative Food Head Office about this repeatedly to no avail - in fact, it is a struggle even to get them to reply to my E Mails! Despite their profession to be a 'socially responsible organisation', they have finally indicated that one complaint is not enough for them to act!! With your help, I'd like to show them that more than one of their shoppers/members is unhappy with this stuff being displayed in this way. Please sign up to make the CoOp do the socially responsible thing and protect our young children from this horrible content. Thank you98 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Judith Thomas

Keep the nursing advisory unit in the deparment of healthThe nursing advisory unit, advises the Government on health policies and how they will affect nursing and nurses, allied health professionals and ultimately the health of the country. Nurses are the largest workforce in the UK and if they close this unit, it means that effectively nurses voices will not be heard within the department of health and they will get their information from lobbyists and private health care companies. The nursing posts that will go are nurses who advocate on behalf of those with mental health and learning disabilities, some of of our most vulnerable members of society. The Royal College of Nurses voted to ask their council to lobby Jeremy Hunt to keep the unit. I would ask you to join the campaign.1,500 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by christina sosseh
