The people need to decide who takes us threw this volatile time and they should be elected not be handed it down to

It's what the northern Irish people voted for.

At 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.

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.

After 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/complaints

London is one of the world's great cties, full of people from all over the planet, and each one of them enriches the city's great atmosphere. London is a cultural hub, a business hub, a a place with a great history and - as part of a wider global community - a dazzling future. 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.

The 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.

The 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.

Essex 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.

As 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.

With the first past the post system the side that loses by a slim majority has no local representation through Parliament

The 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.
