Voters are not fairly represented in parliament. Conservatives won 36% of the vote yet have 51% representation in parliament. The SNP won 4.7% of the vote and have 56 Mp’s; the Greens won 3.8% and have only one MP. UKIP Won votes that amount to 1/3 of the conservative vote and yet the conservatives have 331 seats to UKIP’S 1 seat. This is an affront to democracy.

1/5 people suffer from mental health problems in the UK, many of these people self harm, in fact suicide is the leading cause if death in the UK for men under 21. Many TV programmes can have detrimental effects on peoples well beings. TV producers such as the BBC seem to enjoy using themes such as suicide and rape as they are deemed as "interesting" of "exciting". But there is little regard for certain viewers emotions. As a long term suffer of mental health problems, many things trigger negative emotions, these are the things I obviously try and avoid. However, when programs, such as casualty, air distressing themes, the viewers are given no prior warning, sparking many negative emotions. I feel it is necessary that trigger warnings are displayed before a program starts if necessary. (Just like the BBC do with flashing lights etc) a simple message such as "warning: triggering content", would make such a difference to so many people.

The 'first-past-the-post' system is archaic and outdated. It is an affront democracy. This was highlighted by the general election results of 2015. How can it be possible for 1.4 million to vote for the Scottish National Party and receive 56 seats in parliament, yet 3.7 million voted for the United Kingdom Independence Party and only received one seat of representation in parliament?

Financial institutions around the world employ the same techniques in market trading as Navinder Sarao. They should be prosecuted as well, and first before prosecuting an individual like Navinder Sarao. In addition, due to the length of time the extradition proceedings are likely to take and the difficulty of the US being able to convince a judge that they do have a case, keeping him in prison is cruel and inhuman. He must be freed on minimum bail and surrender his passport instead.

Read this article from the Independent and let's make our country great again by helping those in need not those who shirk from paying into our system what they owe: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/generalelection/hours-after-the-election-the-dwp-says-it-is-looking-to-cut-a-disabled-access-to-work-scheme-10237191.html I have worked with many disabled people who contribute massively to the business but just need a little support to get to and from their jobs and adaptations to help them cope. I recently worked with a blind lady who was brilliant at her job. Stop the new wave of Tory cuts. It targets those in need.

In the past five years under a Conservative/ Liberal Democrat coalition, many things have changes, and the majority of them not for the better. Austerity, we are told, is our only option, but instead of taking from the top and putting the squeeze on people living extravagant lifestyles, the welfare system for the poorest, most vulnerable, youngest and the disabled has instead been hacked away at, pushing millions into poverty. University level education is once again moving towards being for only the privileged few at £9000 per year, pricing out many who wish to study key subjects such as medicine, sciences and teaching, pushing the remaining doctors, nurses and other NHS employees, research scientists and teachers to their limits as no fresh talents enters their job pools. The NHS itself is being broken apart and is failing on so many levels, with many points of service stretched beyond breaking point, staff overworked, underpaid and undervalued, money cut from an essential public service where the alternative is one of the most expensive outgoings possible, and completely unrealistic to expect people to pay in times of austerity. We are also facing rising cost of living while wages stagnate, making life a struggle for those who work full time hours and do not qualify for any benefits or help, and with rising food, electric, gas and fuel prices, it is not a surprise that so many families are being forced into poverty, not to mention the younger generation who are trying to strike out into the job and property market for the first time, only to find their wages do no cover basic living needs and the job market is stretched beyond belief, with hundreds of people applying for single job positions, all desperate for a job while the Conservatives gleefully cut away at their support with a mantra of "If you had a job, this wouldn't be happening." The truth is, our country is broken, and further welfare cuts to the disabled, the vulnerable, the young, new mothers (statutory maternity pay is one of the items on the list the Conservatives with to get rid of, leaving even working mothers with nothing while they recover from having their child, and leaving no time to bond with said child,) and those seeking jobs that simply are not there, not to mention the victims of ATOS, a system which recalls claimants who have lost limbs in case they will grow back, and that declares cancer sufferers fit to work on their death beds, and has driven people to suicide. This all on the back of the fact that Iain Duncan Smith, a man who refused to take part in an experiment to see if he could survive on £58 per week (JSA), as he knew full well he could not, is being investigated for human rights violations in regards to the cuts to disability benefits and ATOS, along with the disastrous 'work for your benefits' schemes which were found to be unlawful. The whole point to this is, unfortunately, due to fear and a lot in part to media manipulation, we have a government who is utterly out of touch with the working class, and refuse to cut from their own pockets for the good of the country. Lowering the 50p tax rate, tax cuts for the richest, the richest in Britain being able to double their fortunes in 5 years, bankers bonuses still being awarded despite it being them who started this ball rolling for the recession. And all of this while children are going to bed hungry because their parents cannot afford the rising cost of housing, food, petrol, gas, electricity, essentials. This is why I submit that a vote of no confidence to this Conservative government. This government is out of touch with their electorate, and have benefited from misleading the general public. Now, it's time to take a stand a form a national government we can all be proud of. We need a government that looks out for the interests of the many, not simply of the few, and we need our messages to be heard. We need welfare cuts to stop, and bankers cuts to start. We need financial equality, and we need more public forums and public meetings from the government to address national and local issues and help to deal with them effectively. The era of being locked away behind a black door needs to come to an end. Politics needs to be for the many, not simply for the few.

As a hardworking parent I know how important this is. A recent change to my wages led to me trying to get through to the Tax Credits helpline to report my change in circumstances. After 3 weeks of trying, giving information to the automated system and being told they were too busy, or getting through to a queue and kept on hold for over a hour then unceremoniously cut off I was frustrated, anxious and left with a large phone bill. I resorted to writing to HMRC and did eventually also get through on the phone, however the information I had given them was applied incorrectly and again I was left trying to contact the helpline with no success. I have since given up, however I know of many people in vulnerable situations who are finding the extra pressure of this unbearable, it's time this system was made fit for purpose.

The outcome if the 2015 general election has shown how unfair the present system of first past the post is - the UKIP party received over 3 million votes and only got one seat in Government and yet the SNP got half that number of votes and got 56 seats!! How is that fair representation? The voices of a huge number of voters are not being heard. This has also affected all of the smaller parties - they are not being heard either.

The General Election of 2015 shocked me. The SNP claimed 56 seats and got 1,454,436 The Liberal Democrats claimed 8 seats and got 2,415,862 HOWEVER UKIP got 3,881,099 and yet only retained ONE SEAT. To me this doesn't seem fair at all. Many times today I have heard people thank goodness UKIP has only one seat as they are a "racist extreme party" or heard the odd person comment that they are glad Greens only have only seat as they are "a bunch of tree huggers whose policies don't make sense". If you don't agree with a political view of a party then you every right to express that as your opinion. What I don't find acceptable is the attempted smothering of many voters who have voted for these parties and won't hear the desired people in Parliament simply because their support wasn't concentrated in areas. Are we just supposed to ignore nearly 4 million people who have voted UKIP (more than SNP and Liberal Democrats put together may I add) because there votes weren't in the right places? What about the Green Party? 1,156,149 votes, 300,000 short of the SNP yet they only get one seat as well. We do have democracy in this country in this country and we are lucky to have it but now more needs to be done so everyone's opinion through out the country will be heard. Let's do something sooner rather than later. Of course this is only a rough idea and perhaps some may find faults in it but I suggest that the seats gained in Parliament is simply awarded by proportional representation. The local constituency vote should be separate to the national vote with the local consistency voting for a politician who will work in the local area and communicate with their own party about findings and suggestions for their area to bring up in Government but won't have anything to do with being a MP or voting in Parliament. LET THERE BE CHANGE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

Every year hundreds of people die as a result of the readily available legal highs, many believe that as the substance is legal, it is safe. It's quite the opposite in fact. The exact ingredients will never be known, and we are unaware of the effects of theses substances. However, despite this, the council still proceed to licence shops selling legal highs. No age restrictions are in place. A child as young as 5 could purchase these lethal drugs, all at the owners discretion. I for one am not going to sit back and watch more and more children become another death statistic. By making it illegal to purchase these substances under the age of 18, we can start minimising casualties. Tight sentences and fines should be implemented to anyone found selling legal highs without a license or to anyone with out verification of age. The fight back starts now.

We would like your support to stop the destruction and trade of Iraqi antiquities. Iraqi artefacts are of critical importance, not only for the region but the heritage of the whole world because they are more than 5,000 years old. This illicit trade in stolen artefacts could be worth 7-10 billion dollars worldwide and is possibly second to the arms and drugs trade. In Iraq, the artefacts are going through neighbouring countries such as Turkey and Jordan and then passing through transit countries that act as markets, final destinations might include US, UK and Switzerland. We are asking the UK government to:- 1 - implement the UN Council Resolution 2199 of 2015. and have recently asked the Iraqi government to:- 1 - set up a database of artefacts (demolished and remaining) and all sites. 2 – register all sites and have a trained police force to protect them. However, the Iraqi Authorities are lacking the expertise and resources to do this as ISIS occupies some of the sites so are not under the control of the Iraqi government. If there is no demand for these ancient antiquities then there will be no supply. Now we would like your support to condemn this destruction of our heritage and add your names and signature to our list of supporters.

The reason behind my urgent appeal is because this medication is the cause behind so many soldiers suffering from mental health breakdown. Responding to the new statistics published recently, General Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, said: “It is extraordinary that the MoD continues with this policy given the mounting evidence as to the harmful effects of Lariam. The MoD should decide as a matter of urgency to no longer prescribe Lariam but use some other malaria prophylactic.” I thoroughly agree with this because it is very wrong to put our loyal troops through this predicament which is very much uncalled for. Therefore I implore the Ministry of Defence to ban the medication and not prescribe it to our troops with immediate effect.
