Refugees Welcome in East HoathlyDavid Cameron announced we’ll welcome 20,000 more Syrian refugees. But there’s a catch. This will take 5 years, leaving thousands of refugees in limbo. It’s now up to us to show that in cities, towns and villages all across the country we’re ready to welcome people now. Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria. So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.

Close tax loopholes being exploited by large corporationsSmall and medium-sized businesses in the UK are paying a disproportionate amount of tax, which is manifestly unfair. In addition, the Austerity measures and severe cuts to public services would be unnecessary, if this revenue were collected.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Angela Steatham

Hold A Referendum On the Decision To bomb SyriaAs a Christian myself, although I have served in HM Forces, I do not believe that we should exacerbate a situation which even Mr Blair has grudgingly admitted, has been caused by the previous wrong decision to go to war in Iraq. We as a supposedly civilised nation should get back to our Christian and Diplomatic roots and strive for peace.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Parsons

Re-open the Liverpool Loop Line railway lineIn peak times the roads in Liverpool can get congested and in some places there are bottlenecks. This railway line, if re-opened, could relieve congestion on Liverpool roads. New stations could be built or rebuilt at: For the Old Liverpool Loop Line: New stations could be opened at: Gateacre, Childwall, Knotty Ash and Stanley*, West Derby*, Clubmoor, Warbreck and Aintree (New Platform at existing station). *Platforms are still extant. For the Canada Dock Branch: New station be opened at: Edge Lane, Stanley (for the Stanley Market), Tuebrook (for the Tuebrook Market), Breck Road, new station known as Liverton, which is a combination of Liverpool and Everton FC station or two separate stations each for both the football stadia; and also a new station at Spellow and new platforms at Kirkdale and Bootle, which would be the terminus, unless through running to Southport from Edge Hill Station's bay platforms still extant. *Platforms are still extant. Instead of pontificating about the expansion of Merseyrail, which the authorities seem to be doing a lot of, this petition is to get the various bodies, such as the Merseyside Integrated Transport Authority and Network Rail, who still owns the trackbed of Liverpool Loop Line, should get something rolling about and bring it back into operation. Presently, SusTrans - Sustainable Transport - provides a network of cycle paths on the former railway line cutting, as part of the Trans-Pennine Trail. The problem is with Merseyside ITA is that it seems to be pontificating over what could be a very good railway network for Merseyrail, but while these authorities are trying to make up their mind whether or not to implement or to deploy the re-opening of these railway line to passenger services, the cost of bringing such projects back into operational use would have escalated and that's probably one of the reasons why these authorities won't go ahead with this. This has happened with the Merseytram project, which has had to be shelved due to escalating costs. Since 1992, the Manchester Metrolink System has knocked spots off Merseyrail. Why? Because: 1) You can get to a cricket match at Trafford; 2) You can get to football matches at both Manchester United and Manchester City football stadia; 3) You get to Manchester Airport; 4) You can visit the Tate Art Gallery and the Imperial War Museum at Salford Quays; 5) BBC and ITV television staff use the trams to get to MediaCity; 6) The Manchester Metrolink utilises the old British Rail routes from Manchester Victoria to Altrincham, Bury, Oldham and Rochdale. With the Merseyrail System, there is decent rail link to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, which could have been factored in to when Liverpool South Parkway was being built!!! In Liverpool, football fans have to take a train from Liverpool Central to Sandhills, then board a double decker bus, what is known locally as a Soccerbus, which is run by Arriva, to take these fans to their respective Liverpool and Everton football matches.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Wakefield

A curriculum to prepare us all for life?We believe that the place of citizenship education and PSHE in the curriculum should be radically overhauled through a youth-led UK-wide review; they are really important for young people’s growth and development as they teach vital life skills and can be the first steps to engaging young people in political life. Teaching staff should be specifically trained to a national standard to deliver citizenship education following this review. A curriculum to prepare us for life is important to the many young people in the united Kingdom, during the UKYP national debate at the house of commons this came in as the top 5 priority to deal with and as a DMYP i will make sure that there education prepares them for life hence the title 'curriculum to prepare us for life' this will hopefully if successful allow students to gain access to an education that will include things such as: • Political Education • Sex and Relationships Education • Cultural Awareness Education • Community Cohesion Education • Finance Skills Education • Sustainable Living Education • Citizenship Education If you want to know more visit the link below: http://www.ukyouthparliament.org.uk/campaign/curriculum-life/6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by anton dobson

Open Halstead Church to the Homeless for WinterThis redundant Anglican church is empty and not used for religious ceremonies. In the face of continuing "austerity" more and more people are facing a cold winter on the streets. The Church can afford to open this church in an act of Christian goodwill over the winter months. Please help to get the Churches Conservation Trust to open their doors.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donna Tuck

Open up empty buildings in BARKING AND DAGENHAMTo plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tracey Groom

Online Election VotingMany folk now live their lives around the internet and it would certainly involve more of the younger end of society in our democracy, who after all have a voice on the future of our country. An online voting system would surely produce a more accurate reflection of all the population.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bryan Thomas
