• Allow the north of England to secede from the UK & join Scotland
    The deliberations in Westminster are becoming increasingly irrelevant to the north of England. The northern cities feel far greater affinity with their Scottish counterparts such as Glasgow and Edinburgh than with the ideologies of the London-centric south. The needs and challenges of the north cannot be understood by the endless parade of old Etonions lining the frontbenches of the House of Commons. The north of England should join the newly independent Scotland and regain control over its own destiny. We, the people of the north, demand that in the event that Scotland becomes independent the border between England and the New Scotland be drawn along a line that runs between the River Dee and the mouth of The Humber (see map). #TakeUsWithYouScotland

  • Get first aid taught in schools! Every Child a Lifesaver - take action!
    Every Child a Lifesaver is based around a crucial goal: to ensure that all children get the chance to learn first aid in schools. The Emergency First Aid Education Bill, put forward by Teresa Pearce MP and requiring all state funded secondary schools in England teach first aid, would make that happen. Too many people suffer needlessly when first aid skills could have helped and sadly only 24% of secondary schools currently teach first aid. By making first aid mandatory in all state-funded secondary schools through the Bill, can we create a generation that are equipped with the skills and confidence to step forward.

  • Compulsory assessment for drivers every 10 years
    I'm not talking about a retest, just an assessment to find potentially dangerous drivers. The standard of driving in this country is nothing short of abysmal at times and it can't all be blamed on new and inexperienced drivers, they are not taught to drive as bad as some of the people that are on the road at the moment.

  • Stop The Midlands G4S 999 Takeover
    G4S are a shady company trying to muscle in on the public sector and have been known to give large donations to right-wing think tanks such as 'Reform', trying to further their position in the prison industry where they already run 5 prisons in the UK. In 2012 G4S were employed to provide security for the London Olympics, in which they did a poor job which resulted in the army bailing them out. costing the tax payer £1000's Among the Olympics shamble they have been in many other controversies such as u the unlawful killing of Jimmy Mubenga in 2010 and being accused of fraud allegations in relation to overcharging for for tagging criminals in England and Wales. It is vital we don't allow a incompetent company like G4S to run a service which could ultimately mean life or death for 1000's of people, it's too risky.

  • Stop the Privatisation of 999 Control Centres, Put Public Service before profit
    Our 999 emergency Control rooms are currently staffed by dedicated professional public servants, direct employees of the three emergency services, with a wealth of knowledge and experience and direct links and relationships with those first emergency responders to the scene, Police, Fire & Ambulance. Remember when G4S made such a shambles of providing security for the Olympics that the army had to bail them out? [1] Well now the same private security firm could be in charge of handling emergency 999 calls here in Northamptonshire. [2] Putting life or death decisions into their hands is a frightening prospect. Adam Simmonds, the police commissioner in charge of this decision, is elected by local people to serve us. Together we could launch a huge people-powered campaign to pressure him into rejecting this idea. At the moment, police chiefs are scoping out how the G4S takeover could work - it’s not a done deal yet. Before Adam was elected in 2012 he made a strong commitment to 38 Degrees members not to privatise police services in Northamptonshire. He said: “I have no intentions of privatising our police force and therefore I would be grateful if you would spread the word that this Candidate for PCC isn't interested in that agenda.” [3] Together we could remind Adam of his promise, and show him that local people want this privatisation off the table. People-power works.

  • The UK needs to do more to help with the refugee Crisis
    I am an A Level citizenship student and I feel the UK needs to do more to help with the refugees Crisis, focusing on Syria. I understand there is a lot of aid being sent,but in there situation what they really need is shelter and safety and not be abandoned on the sides of roads in makeshift camps such as the jungle camp in Calais. I am working closely with a team of dedicated persons acting on our assignment of completing some active citizenship. We would like to get at least one hundred signatures to show that our local area feels that change is needed. After We achieve the required amount of signatures we will compile a letter and send it to Christopher Chope(Christchurch MP) asking him to use his powers in the House of Commons to bring around change.

  • Lynton House Surgery High Wycombe - Stop plans to reduce surgery hours
    Plans to reduce hours by 30% on an already stretched practice is unacceptable. When residents call for an appointment they are faced with a 2-3 weeks wait for appointments. There is also pressure being brought to get people to accept appointments at the Cressex health centre which is not easy to access and is on the west side of High Wycombe in Cressex Industrial Estate The Ryemead area population has increased in last 10 years by more than 1000+ and this will continue as more housing developments come on stream. Some 8 years ago it was identified there was an need for an additional “ 1.5 doctors” to meet the need of the new housing estates being build in the area but this wasn’t taken up by a doctors surgery. Lynton House is the only surgery in the Ryemead ward and its hours need to be increased not decreased to meet the local demand We are calling for this reduction is services to br reversed or to be scrutinized in light of the growing need in Ryemead for an increase in Doctors services at the point of need - in the local ward and community
