Solidarity with Nottinghamshire homelessNottinghamshire council and the police should be offering practical and emotional support to the most vulnerable to help get them back on their feet. Even if someone does have an addiction they should still be given 100 % support as it is an illness and should be treated as such, getting them the right help needed rather than isolating them further.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kelly Cox

Pay National Living Wage To Those Over 18yearsDo I really need to explain why this is important? I thought that would be obvious. Inequality, exploitation, discrimination are just 3 reasons. Maybe an incentive too?7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee Dobson

End 'red cards' for punishing homelessnessClaims that being on the streets is 'anti-social' have nothing to do with the brutal reality of those ending up there or giving them somewhere to live and is simply an attempt to socially cleanse those hardest hit by the housing crisis from sight: this callous and stupid policy must be dropped as soon as possible.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christian Garland

SheforHerFGM is the deliberate mutilation of female genitalia. This is often the removal or cutting of the labia and clitoris. The World Health Organization describes FGM as any procedure that injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. FGM has no health benefits and is in fact very harmful to health in many ways. Even if carried out by a healthcare professional or if it takes place outside the UK. It is a form of gender-based violence, it is a human rights violation and it is a form of child abuse. FGM is damaging.The lives of women and girls can be ruined by FGM. It causes physical and mental health problems which can go on for all of their lives. It is also extremely distressing and damages women's relationships and how they feel about themselves. FGM does not need to happen. No one should be forced to have FGM and the law should protect women and girls who are at risk.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Raleena Anas

Call for a directly-elected President of the EurozoneThis will provide the democratic legitimacy for firm political leadership and direction in order to turn round a failing economic system (see chart) in the Eurozone. With the UK no longer in a position to stop 'ever closer union' but (together with other non-Eurozone countries) wishing to see a strong and stable Eurozone, now is the time to take this initiative before other separatist movements can cause EU disintegration.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gavin Oldham

Restrict commercial use of DronesA very small but vocal lobby is pushing another 'innovation' of questionable value through the legislative system. Citizens must be allowed to have the final say on drone use as the air above our heads should not become a playground for the few and be a threat to our health and safety.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heinz Geyer

Save allotments green space:tonight 26th July to be destroyed for a car parkAllotments are the key to local sustainability they provide food and produce for the community, much needed activity and socialisation for local people , they support the environment for providing a home for urban insects birds and animals ,and are an oasis in our sprawling concrete of green fertile ground . The local government are attempting at the last minute to rail road through plans to commandeer the allotment land to make way for a car park for the station. In the constituency of Theresa May ! I am not against providing facilities for the station as it encourages use of our railways however this needs great debate and cannot just be pushed through the back Door , to destroy part of our environment and heritage and community without first consulting the local community. The parish council meeting is tonight 26th July . Please sign my petition This is important for our environment and our children's futures.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lizzie Cox

BHS: change the rules governing extraction of wealth from businessesPhilip Green's behaviour in relation to BHS has yet again highlighted the loopholes and weaknesses in UK law governing the handling of money and finance. Green's behaviour is not untypical and it is clear that there are people who will always seize opportunities to make themselves wealthy with no heed for the consequences to other people and to society at large. The law needs to be changed to take account of this inevitable human behaviour so as to prevent the damage that arises from it. Removing Green's knighthood may satisfy a need for revenge but it does not even approach solving the problem.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roger Haydon

Sir Phillip Green: give the money backThis matters to the people you have impoverished. It matters to the whole of the business community that you have disgraced. It matters to the nation which cares for its reputation as a global leader in corporate governance. It ought to matter to you that your name is vilified and is become a byword for amoral greed. It matters to me because it matters.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Witek Mintowt-Czyz

Twitter / Facebook - Tell us if fake profiles are being used to manipulate the UK political spaceThere is some concern that Facebook and Twitter are being manipulated in order to undermine political debate in the UK. Many people who suggest this are accused of being paranoid or conspiracy theorists. Facebook and Twitter have the resources and data to confirm whether or not this is true, and if it is true to confirm whether or not it is a technical breach of their Terms and Conditions. It is also within their power to indicate the likely source of such a campaign. By conducting such an investigation and publishing the results, 2 of the largest media organisation in the world have a powerful opportunity to send a message about what is acceptable behaviour in political discourse on social media, and more broadly to make a strong statement about the value of fairness and honesty in democratic society.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacob Bettany
