UK safe haven for Syrian refugeesAdults and children are dying trying to escape from conflict in their own country. They need a safe haven,in UK, until it is safe to return. UK should cooperate with other EU countries to facilitate their escape, thereby reducing their reliance on criminal traffickers, and then provide temporary accommodation and resources until it is safe for them to return to Syria. NOW is not the time for focus on catching traffickers, nor for political issues, such as limiting immigration into UK34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pat Brandwood

Refugees not MigrantsThe term migrant can be used for anyone wanting to move from one country to another. The masses escaping wars are doing so in fear of their lives and many would prefer to stay in their home country and will go back as soon as it is safe to. We need to realise this and calling them refugees will help.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Birchmore

SAVE CYMMER AFAN SWIMMING POOLCymmer is a small community in Port Talbot where there is a swimming pool that 5other communities also use. It is great to keep kids and adults alike fit and healthy. There is not much else in this area to keep kids fit and healthy. The local government complain about kids being obese and unhealthy yet they are going to close the only facility that can help tackle this problem the local schools within a 8 mile radius use this facility for recreational use. My daughter and friends would be devasted if this pool closed. There is an action group set up to keep the pool open that will be be run by the community. Please please help me and thousands of other children and parents keep this pool open.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by lee tompkins

We need a democratic House of Lords - and here's why it should use proportional representationThe House of Commons is meant to be made up of representatives, representing people in a given area and therefore a local form of voting seems most appropriate, however the job of the lords is to scrutinise bills as agents of the whole country. It doesn't take a genius to realise that the current makeup of the House of Lords is a poor representation of the British public and currently completely undemocratic. For a group representing the populous as a whole then a PR voting system would make the most sense, creating a house of the political median of the UKs populous. I believe this system could help us solve the problem of the current bloated House of Lords, maintain our local democracy and improve our national democracy. Finally there is an opportunity for the smaller parties to have a national voice without losing the local representation.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Harry Wyatt

Reverse the decision to make Douglas Hogg a member of the House of LordsThe appointment of Douglas Hogg to the House of Lords is a disgrace. Let's not forget this is the man who claimed for having his moat cleaned and his piano tuned when the expenses scandal kicked off. This is your chance to do the right thing and get the establishment to realise that enough is enough!16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Bowen

Bring back public information filmsIncredibly, people don't know they are allowed in box junctions at a right turn if their way is clear,or how to use mini roundabouts. Everyone remembers Reginald Molehusband and "don't dazzle, dip your headlights". The police don't do it so someone must. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3R7hG_pLaI14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eric Dyson

Legalisation of Marijuana in the UK (Production, Sale and use)Marijuana has been proven virtually harmless multiple times through verified studies. Along with this the effects of it are less than alcohol and the effects are less permanent. Marijuana is far safer than both Tobacco and Alcohol yet is still banned in the United Kingdom today. The evidence is all there to prove it is safe and should be legal. Pros: Weed is 114 times safer than alcohol Since being legalised in American States, Overall, crime has fallen by 15% and murder has dropped by 50%. Dope is actually less addictive than drinking coffee Legalising weed would recharge the British economy (If we legalised cannabis, up to £900m could be raised annually in taxes, according to the Institute for Economic Research.) Cons: You feel really tired and lazy for a few hours Smoking can harm the body ( Though edibles are 100% safe) So should it really still be banned?
