Require 2/3rds majorities for constitutional changesBy requiring 2/3rds majority assent it will ensure that significant changes to the governance of Britain are seen as clearly legitimate. This is especially important with major changes (such as the possible exit from the EU) as many of these changes will be either irreversible, or very difficult to change back. By requiring a 2/3rd majority on Bills before Parliament with a major constitutional affect it would also ensure that there is reasonable negotiation between parties and that such changes would reflect the interests of the public as a whole.85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Luke

NO MORE BUS CUTS IN NORTH YORKSHIRE!NYCC has already made subsidy cuts to bus services of a whopping £2 million in 2013/2014 - the highest in the UK - and now it wants to cut an extra £500,000 in 2016. Buses are a lifeline for so many, for both practical and social reasons. If a person cannot drive, or doesn't have access to transport, why should they be disadvantaged further? If somebody relies on the bus to get to work, why should they worry - again - that they may not be able to get there? You never know when you may need a bus so please don't take them for granted. They are a necessity and not a luxury. Here's my story: I've been using the 31x between Easingwold and Helmsley on an almost daily basis for several years to get to work. It's clean, reliable and a safe way to get to a lovely rural part of the world that is very popular with tourists. NYCC is thinking of cutting my two regular journeys to term-time only, with unacceptable cuts to the rest of the service which will effectively reduce it to three days a week and two journeys a day - one from and one to Helmsley - and nothing at all at the weekend. You can find full proposal information here: www.northyorks.gov.uk/bussubsidy DON'T LET NYCC CUT OR FRAGMENT ANY MORE SERVICES.1,823 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tracy Battensby

Make Hopkinstown Road SafeThere are too many injuries and sometimes deaths on Hopkinstown Road. We need some traffic calming measures at least. It is irresponsible of any highways agency to ignore this serious problem. How many times do people have to suffer loss and injury before highways authorities take notice. How many times do we have to ask?840 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Gareth Williams

stop automatic organ donor opt-inPeople should be able to donate their organs by choice, not assumption. I want to give my organs as a gift, not by the Assembly making the decision for me. They are my organs and I have that right.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Last

Allow clapping in the House of Commons and improve other 'Parliamentary behaviour'.Because the Speaker admonished SNP MP's for clapping (a traditional way of showing approval) yet allows braying, guffawing, jeering, gestures and bellowing week after week, particularly at PM question times- which is one reason MPs are not respected.352 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Gregory Parker

Votes for 16+This vote is not an election. It is a referendum. Young people will be affected more than the elderly. They have as much right, if not more, to have their voices heard.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heather Bodden

Stop the sale of housing association housingIn the first place, it advantages folk who are paying far less rent than those who have to rent in the private sector. They should not then be able to buy the houses at a cut price, while reducing the stock of affordable housing. It isn't as if we have an oversupply of such housing and it really isn't fair! People in affordable housing should use their advantage to save a deposit and buy on the open market, like everyone else has to do which would free up their housing association house for those who need it. We need more affordable housing not less. We have families in bed and breakfasts.159 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Christine Emms

Save Sophie's Nursing DegreeSophie has been a care giver for her grandmother Violet for many years and has still managed to enter a degree level course and achieved amazing grades. Since Sophie is unable to prove that she is an independant learner the NHS bursary are refusing Sophie the money she needs to finish the course. Sophie will be an amazing mental health nurse and I dont think a person sat in front of a computer should have the power to take this away from her. Sophie is not asking for any more money she just wants what she usually gets so she can finish her course and become a NURSE, something that the country is crying out for! Sophie has become a great friend of mine and I hate seeing her so upset please sign this petition so that she can at least get a chance of finishing with her friends.484 of 500 SignaturesCreated by kellyann kay
