• Respond to the referendum with compromise, not division
    The EU referendum was advisory and the people gave you their advice. We told you that on this matter we were split down the middle: 48%-52% (35%-37%-28% if you include non-voters). That proper response to a balanced vote is not to comply entirely with the side that is ahead by a few percentage points. The proper response is to compromise. This is not a new idea. in 2010 we had an indecisive general election result and a compromise was reached. Rather than assuming that the referendum result means a country irreconcilably divided into two camps, a more sensible interpretation would be that changes to our relationship with the EU could be sufficient to produce a substantial consensus across the nation as a whole. Politicians should not try to wash their hands of this difficult process, under the pretence of carrying out the public's will.

  • 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 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.

  • A second EU referendum that allows 16-17 year old to vote!
    This is important because the future of the UK should be decided mainly by the younger generation and NOT the older generation who properly won't see the impact that they have put on the UK for leaving the EU!

  • Bring back the Home Nations Championship
    After the home nations doing so well in the 2016 Euros. It's about time the competition got re scheduled into the football callender. N Ireland won the last one in 1984 and bringing this back would help to Unite the home countries in a time where we all seem to be distancing ourselves from each other. We have it in rugby. So why not again in football?

  • Guarantee no change in the status of UK citizens currently living/working/studying in the EU
    Hundreds of thousands of UK citizens work, study, and live abroad in EU countries like Germany, France, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, etc. We are amongst the millions of ordinary Britons worldwide who have truly exerted ourselves in and embraced Globalism. Those of us in neighbouring European countries have now suddenly been placed in a state of limbo and are extremely concerned about our livelihoods. Up until this point, we had full rights to work, study, etc. We paid into the systems, where we lived, and were treated civilly, were able to acquire jobs, accommodation, etc. We do not live from the state, we have been working hard, studying, etc. and we want to continue to be able to acquire jobs, develop our skills, etc. without being bogged down by visa restrictions. The Conservative Party’s irresponsible bow to the right-wing nationalist party (UKIP) in 2015, allowing a sudden In-Out EU-Referendum lacking a balanced campaign,* placed amongst other things the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of UK citizens at risk. We have been living in limbo since and live now in limbo due to the outcome of the EU-Referendum. Please do not forget us, as you have consistently done in the course of the past few years. I urge you, not abandon UK citizens living in the EU. We do not want to have to live in uncertainty as 3rd rate citizens in neighbouring countries. Please guarantee our rights and our livelihoods. Please guarantee in your negotiations with individual EU-countries, that those Britons who have exercised their rights to freedom of movement, will not be met by blockages such as visa-restrictions, etc. Yours Sincerely, One of tens of millions of born British Citizens, who do not want to be let down. _____ * viz. the BrExit-campaign had been at this for decades, whereas Remain-campaign for no more than a few months

  • Guarantee no change in the status of UK citizens currently living in the EU
    Because there are many UK residents in EU countries at a time when there is uncertainty following the Brexit vote of 23rd June 2016. My brother is one of them, but I know many others as friends and acquaintances.

  • House of Lords democratic reform
    Fundamentally, the House of Lords is an undemocratic, unelected body who has the power to scrutinise and delay Bills from the commons. If something can be taken away from the EU referendum, it's that there is a public unease from unelected bodies having influence over national law. It's antiquated and unrepresentative of British wider society.
