• UK Devolution - Cross Party Royal Commission on Constitutional Reform
    Because of their nature, political parties will try to control this process so that it is in their best interest. The referendum in Scotland has unveiled a level of mistrust in Westminster. A commission at the request of Her Majesty The Queen would give people faith in the process.

  • Government agree to NHS testing pregnant Mums for GBS
    Because I was lucky to have been tested while I was pregnant and found to have it. If I hadn't had other problems, that test wouldn't have been done and my daughter may not have survived. I still read so many stories from other people who have lost their new babies to this killer.

  • Demand ATOS take on the extra staff needed for PIP claims
    What is a claimant supposed to do in the meantime for paying their mortgage and bills. The cleaners and carers needed to take care of a claimant will not wait for their payment, The whole process just is far too slow. People who are disabled can be claiming PIP for all kinds of ailments. Some of which, adding stress to their situation, will only make their health worse. How can this current situation be acceptable. Why aren't the ministers and MP's, who are in place to help, are not making a debate in parliament about this. They are in their positions to help the people of the UK. Please sign this petition and force them to act now.

  • Unchained Unicorn
    The Unicorn is a symbol of Scotland. As one of the four free-thinking nation states of the UK, it should not be shackled. This implies that the unicorn is a kept animal or slave against it's will. The passport is intrinsic to identity, and the visual symbolism of a chained creature is not representative of the Nation of Scotland or it's people.

  • Save our school bus
    Because parents can not afford the £20.00 a week for the bus fares especially if they have other children coming through the system. The council state that we should send our children to the nearest school, which is not my sons preferred choice and also it is mainly sports and my son has is own sport outside of school, he much prefers going to a school that specialist in performing arts, drama etc. If all the local children went to the local school it would be massively over subscribed with pupils that do not want to be there, we would then have another problem later on in life with under learning.

  • Genital Integrity for All Children
    The harms of female genital mutilation in all of its forms are well known, and the practice is rightly legally condemned. It is accepted that children have fundamental rights to bodily integrity and self-determination that cannot be outweighed by the wishes of a parent to follow religious or cultural practices. Cutting a child's genitals is a serious affront to these rights, and it can cause irreversible physical and psychological harm. However, in law and public policy this obvious conclusion is only applied to female children, when it is both boys and girls who are at risk from genital cutting. It is our opinion that all children have this same right to bodily integrity, and that this should be reflected in the law. Opponents have claimed that infant circumcision is harmless and has no long-term consequences. However, evidence from the experience of adults circumcised as children, from scientific investigation, and from the statistics of boys who are left with serious physical side effects or who even die as a result of these procedures attests to the physical and psychological harm that it can cause. Genital cutting can affect all children, and can harm all children. It is well past time to make it a thing of the past.

    I am 16, and I have just cast my first ever vote in the Scottish Independence Referendum as did 100,000 other 16 and 17 year olds.

The British Youth Council have led a coalition of organisations to deliver Votes at 16 - you can check out the website at http://www.votesat16.org/.

  • A Devolved Parliament For England
    Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have a Devolved Parliament. England does NOT have a Devolved Parliament. This is a democratic defecit. It is extremely unfair on the electorate in England and requires to be remedied for the sake of democratic justice. In Scotland democracy was energised with a huge turnout for the Independence Referendum. Whatever your view, it has to be a good thing to have a substantial increase in the electorate taking an interest in the democratic process and becoming engaged in democracy. Hence this petition to secure a Referendum to establish if there is a demand for a Devolved English Parliament. Of critical importance is to ask the electorate whether they wish a properly Devolved Parliament or England OUTSIDE of Westminster in one of England's great cities. Or if the electorate would settle for a lesser two day a week second best effort using a spare room in Westminster? If Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have proper dedicated devolved parliaments, then why should England have anything less than a new purpose built Devolved Parliament For England away from Westminster? The view of the petitioners is that Westminster should become a Federal Parliament for the United Kingdom, and that all four countries in the United Kingdom should have separate self governing devolved parliaments. A Devolved Parliament For England should be built in one of the great cities of England. With all due respect to London, this should be in one of the major regions of England. Further details: www.unitedstatesofbritain.org/ If, or when we reach 100,000 signatories to this Petition it will become eligible for debate in the House of Commons:- http://www.parliament.uk/e-Petitions-and-the-Backbench-Business-Committee
