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

Referendum on fox hunting.Because MPs are here to enact the will of the people. We tell them what we want and they do it. In a recent survey over 80% of the British public were against this cruel practice and if it is up to a vote in parliament then half the people voting are the ones committing this disgusting act. This issue has been thrown back and forth for years and its about time it was stopped. Help end the suffering of our native wildlife.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jack rumbold

Scottish BorderThis will allow all people who believe in retaining public services,proper funding of education,supporting the NHS, supporting our Police, Fire & Ambulances Services, getting rid of food banks, ridding this country of nuclear weapons, supporting and maintaining a modern non nuclear armed forces and trying to build a country that belongs to the people and not just the rich elite. Anyone who wants the other way can stay in the south and call themselves England or maybe Tory land...the rest of us can move north.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Roach

Legalise MarijuanaThis is important because as adults, we should have certain controls over our lives. It seems completely ridiculous that drugs such as alcohol and tobacco are not only legal but sold as a commercial product, yet marijuana is treated as an obscene drugs. It can be argued that marijuana can lead to mental illness but not only has this not been supported by research, but this seems like a hypocritical argument considering that alcohol can lead to numerous illnesses and is one of the leading causes of death in the UK. Not only that, between the years 2011-12, the Office for National Statistics found that alcohol accounted for 63% of violent crimes in Scotland, and 40% of all violent crime throughout England and Wales. Similarly, the risks associated with tobacco such as lung cancer are commonly known, yet both it and alcohol can be legally purchased by anyone over the age of 18 in the UK. We live in a culture where binge drinking seems socially acceptable but smoking marijuana can result in a criminal record. The UK is being left behind by countries who are realising that the war on drugs has failed. Trying to use scare tactics such as prison sentences for the mere possession of a naturally growing substance is ludicrous. Perhaps later down the line, other drugs will become decriminalized but I think it is high time that marijuana is not only decriminalized, but fully legalised. We only need to look to Portugal to realise the effect that decriminalisation and legalisation have on drug use and society overall. A war on marijuana use is not only a war on drugs, it's a war on our basic human rights and our freedoms as human beings. While it is possible (and in fact occurs more often than it should) to die from consuming too much alcohol, the possibility of overdosing on marijuana are inconceivably small. When do we ever hear news updates of somebody dying from a cannabis overdose? Never. For those of you worried about the societal impact of the legalisation of this substance, one only need to look to Colorado to see that legalisation has a vast array of benefits. While this was a fairly recent move and it is still early days, things definitely look positive in areas such as crime rate.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cameron Madden
