  • Ban TV advertising of exploitative companies
    These advertisements are aimed at sections of society who are in dire financial need, or there would be no demand, and it is not likely that obtaining a 'payday loan' at exorbitant interest rates or gambling on-line will be to the benefit of individuals, their families and ultimately society as a whole. It is not difficult to imagine the distress that will ensue repaying loans of over 1000% APR. as advertised on billboard information for the same companies. We believe that a civilised society would not only end this type of commercial exploitation swiftly, but would legislate immediatley to close these industries down, review why they have been allowed to operate for so long and publish details of the individuals who have been profiting by them and defending them to Government.

  • Fair deal for pensioner's savings:
    Many pensioners live on a relatively meager pension supplemented by interest from their savings. Over recent years interest rates have been derisory leading to a poverty trap for many senior citizens. This must be urgently addressed.

  • A Dedicated Support Team for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), C.F.S etc
    We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to ensure that a dedicated Consultant/Clinic and medical support team for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia sufferers is set up in South East Wales. I request that this petition be treated as an official voice of M.E. sufferers, their families, carers and interested parties. Currently, sufferers of the above ailments are not being supported, with a few exceptions, by the medical profession. They are unable to work but the government bodies assessing them do not appear to understand their problems. This is the basis for this petition.

  • Shut down the ticket touts.
    There are seven petitions going through the direct-gov organisation at the moment but it seems that only one of them has any serious numbers of supporters. As I have been watching the power of 38 Degrees for some time I believe that it is only via this route that a serious petition to this end will come about.

  • Abolish political parties to reinstate democracy
    We must take steps to improve our democracy. Our MPs are generally elected through a deal with the devil. Well, I say devil but I mean political parties. In order to gain money for campaigning and to gain the votes of people who vote along party lines, most people who want to become MPs are forced to join political parties. Unfortunately, if they do get elected then they are now in the pocket of the party that helped them get there. They have to obey what is known as "the whip". This means following the party line. They are no longer free to represent the views of their constituents - instead they represent the views of the party. Political parties are also open to lobbying. Big business and trade unions can suck up to the political parties and tempt them into adopting policies that suit them. Now your MP is not just failing to represent you - they're actually representing other interests entirely that may be anathema to your views. The role of an MP should be to represent their constituents. It is so rare that this is the case. Far too often, an MP's main relationship with their constituents is to send them the party line whenever the constituents ask for representation and deluge the constituents with leaflets around election time! This is not how our democratic system should work. The abolishment of political parties may seem an extreme step but I believe it is necessary if we are to have members of parliament who fulfil their remit and represent their constituents. Please sign this petition and pass it on. We can at least show our MPs a sign that we want real democracy in this country.

  • Solar Britain
    It's clear from the constant debate about household energy bills, that the British public are unhappy with the way energy is being managed in the private sector. There is also concern about relying too much on fossil fuels which pollute the environment and are expensive. Wind farms in the right places certainly help, but the potentially cheaper and less controvertail way to produce energy is with solar panels, which have improved greatly in recent years and are now much cheaper to produce. The facts and figures are irrefutable: If most rooftops, including factories, warehouses, supermarkets/shopping centers, stations, schools, hospitals, libraries etc, as well as appropriate household roofs, were fitted with solar panels, we would generate more than enough energy for our needs. In order to achieve this, the main energy companies may need to be renationalized, because it is the 'profiteering' mentality which tends to favour fossil fuels. Clearly there will be costs to the public purse, but we are already paying huge costs in the form of energy bills. With longer term planning and an economy deriving most of it's energy from the sun, energy costs will plummet to an all time low, not to mention the cleaner air and healthier environment! Many jobs would be created, especially during the main installation period and we could even manufacture new panels ourselves, creating further jobs and lowering costs. Come on Britain! Let's dare to dream a better future.
