Replace the Human Rights Act with a UK bill of rights.The EU Human Rights which the British government helped create has become a joke and we have lost control of the UK's criminal system, unable to deport people who actively want to harm British citizens back to their home countries. We need a bill of rights that protects the British people from harm.118 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Rice

Cumbria to secede from England, and the name changed back to Cumberland.For far too long now England, in fact the whole UK, has been London and those other little places round the edges. The north never gets a fair deal, especially Cumbria, so it's time we went at it alone. The United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales, NI, and Cumberland.....has a nice ring to it.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Hooper

Balance "poverty porn" with "one law for the rich" pornFarming subsidies paid to millionaires, VAT breaks for companies bidding for lucrative NHS contracts, the recent tax rules changes that mean companies don't have to pay the balance of their corporation tax to the UK tax authorities, are benefits too. They amount to tens of millions, if not billions, of pounds. They still come out of general taxation, and are paid for by the less well off who proportionally pay far more tax. So there needs to be far more balance. All of this is not good for public debate as it is never put into a forum where voters can see it. There are approximately 10 times more people employed chasing benefits fraud that there are chasing tax evasion, yet the amounts of money concerned are 10 times the other way. If we are concerned about "freeloaders" and "scroungers" who operate with a sense of entitlement ignoring the morals of what they do then ALL of them need to be taken to task, instead of a small cross section of vulnerable people who are being exploited by "poverty porn".115 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Francis Fish

Thomas Cook Should Give Their £3.5 Million to The Shepherd FamilyIs is right that Thomas Cook receives £3. 5 million pounds from the hotel where Christi and Bobby Shepherd died… While the parents who could have also died along with their children only receive a fraction of that money in compensation for their children's deaths? Thomas Cook is a multi-national company with gross sales in the billions of pounds in 2014. We think Thomas Cook should do the decent thing and give the money to the Shepherd family. No amount of money can make up for the loss of two children.. But the people who suffered the biggest loss should receive the largest share. Thomas Cook, give that money to the Shepherd family now. Do the right thing.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Granley

No More UK ParliamentNobody set out to create Parliament. It developed naturally out of the daily political needs of the English King and his government. It didn't develop continuously over time neither, but went through short stages of rapid growth. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was created in 1801 by the merger of the Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland under the Acts of Union. The principle of responsibility to the lower House did not come about until the 19th century. Members of the House of Commons were elected in an out dated electoral system, under which constituencies of vastly different sizes existed. Which is still used today. Parliament is one of the oldest continuous representative assemblies in the world. It is a story that involves battle, war, invasion, several dethronings. We can't keep living in fear of death, famine and despair. Parliament claim cuts are needed to bring this economy back to some stability. Look around you. What positivity can you see that doesn't get overweighed by negativity? Many people in the UK are suffering from depression and other mental health issues. Poverty is rapidly increasing, drug abuse and crime rates are high. We are affected as a consensus. No more shall we have to suffer. There can be an alternative to Parliament. Stand Up. Be heard.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by daniel wilkes

Keep Your Hands Off Our NHS CameronWithout the NHS people like the elderly, disabled, which we all know your poor late son Ivan was, sick children and poor will suffer as they will not be ableto afford private health care and subsequently, like poor Ivan, die. I, myself, have epilepsy and, at the age of six months, contracted menigitis. This left me partially disabled and, without our beloved NHS I, no doubt, would've probably died as my parents were unable to afford private health care. In recent times my 70 year old dad suffered a subdural haemotoma and, yet again, without the NHS, we would have no doubt lost him. Get rid of the NHS and our blood will be on your hands.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ben Wilson

Additional Member SystemThe current electoral system though producing clear results, does not fully reflect the will of the British people in their electing of members of parliament. The Additional Member System retains the link between Members of Parliament and their constituencies, and also in most cases produces clear majorities; yet having a proportion element allows the people of the United Kingdom to better elect members according to their considered will and purpose.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Rees

Keep 119 Bus service for PenningtonThe 119 bus service is a bus service that runs between Lymington and New Milton. Other bus services also travel this route but the 119 is the only service that goes via Pennington village. It is the only bus that the elderly and infirm can access because the other services all stop at other ends of the village. It may not seem like an important issue but for people unable to access the X1/2 services then they are left isolated and abandoned. This is simply not acceptable in our society today.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jack Davies

ROOM ROOMSome letting agents in London are greedy and deceitful, falsely advertising 'rooms' to rent that do not meet a governmental living standard that was outlined in 2014. Whilst it is the prerogative of landlords and agencies to dictate their prices, they are forcing up the rental market to beyond what is fair and reasonable to tenants by falsely advertising the space available, and lowering living standards, whilst pushing prices up. This has to stop. People who prioritise living in a place they care about, are being marginalised into moving away or settling for poor living standards. This situation is the beginning of another greedy gentrification boom in housing, perpetuated by the same people who caused our 2008 financial crash. There is a Government standard. It should be met by these companies. Lewisham council, and all London councils must impose these standards more strictly.141 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Samuel Wyer

Get more recycling bins around LiverpoolThis is important because recycling is part of building a sustainable future for the young people of tomorrow. If we do not recycle now then we will face major problems in the future. There's SO much plastic and recyclable material just dumped into landfill every day. Having extra bins around Liverpool and Merseyside would help people to actively recycle and feel good about doing it!34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katherine McDonald
