Achieve proportional representationThe way people are voting now is being constantly manipulated to favour one party or scare them into voting to keep someone else out. We should have a free choice, to include minority groups into legislation, and not allow large parties all the power they want.103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rwth Hunt

Stop Access To Work Cuts for the DisabledAccess to Work has provided a lot of disabled people with the independence to work. Without access to work, disabled people will not be able to do their jobs fully or not at all. Since this petition was started the day after the general election we have over 8,000 signatures. This shows how many of you take this petition to heart. I thank you for all your support and we still need more signatures. Once we have reached over 10,000 this petition will be taken to Lindsay Hoyle MP. Many thanks for your support. We also need to educate the public about Access to Work - what is it? The general public are mostly unaware and if we make them aware we will get more support. I will be updating this petition soon with more info on A2W and what it is to help a better understanding for everyone. Please keep circling this petition without your support we would have not got this far. We need more signatures. Share. We also need to hear from you. How has it effected you? If you have not joined the FB group yet. Please do so and share your story. We need to educate people why we need support in our employment. How do we feel without support? Inferior?

Remove Craig Whittaker as chair of APPG for looked-after childrenCraig Whittaker MP has shown an appalling lack of judgement and caused great distress to survivors of sexual abuse by sharing a sick joke about Jimmy Savile on Twitter on 5th May 2015. He tweeted: Trust Labour? I'd rather trust Jimmy Savile to babysit! with a link to a Richard Littlejohn piece in the Daily Mail, from which the quote was taken. Many people and organisations have condemned this in the national press and on Twitter, including lawyers representing many of Savile’s victims. He has repeatedly been asked to apologise but to date Whittaker has neither deleted the tweet nor apologised. Whittaker’s role as chair of the all-party group for looked-after children is not tenable – he has shown complete contempt for the many care leavers who have experienced abuse (and bearing in mind that many of Savile’s victims were in care). We call on the two vice-chairs of the APPG to ask Whittaker to step aside or remove him if he refuses to resign.2,710 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Cherry

we want a new electoral vote that is more secure.It is obviously important that the Prime Minister that is voted for gets to no 10. We vote and rely on a electronic counting process that makes it easy to cheat .like everything electronic it can be programmed to give any output you desire. We need all counting stations to have more than one independent person counting each vote all along the whole process we need to go back to the old way of counting to ensure the correct person gets to number 10.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ian clegg

Homeless Rights Of JusticeBecause Saint Peters square is again the site of protesters demanding justice and a fairer society. On the 16th of August 1819 it was the people of Lancashire demonstrating for parliamentary reform that were massacred at Peterloo. This time it is the homeless people of Greater Manchester that are upholding the fine tradition of radical protest in Manchester. They have set up camp near to the central library entrance and are demanding better treatment for homeless people across Greater Manchester. Because the number of homeless people is growing across the UK due to the austerity measures being pursued by our government. Because these people deserve a home. This is a heroic David vs Goliath struggle, and we should make sure David wins!1,418 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Conrad Bower

Campaign to save the Camp public house St AlbansThe Camp is the epitome of your friendly local pub and has been serving the city of St Albans for over 100 years. With locally brewed real ales, and great value pub food – our local pub is at the heart of the community. The pub is also the social hub of the area, providing local entertainment including regular quiz and karaoke nights, evening events to raise money for local charities and hosting live televised sporting events. Despite being the centre of the community, soon locals in St Albans will be left without their local pub. The pub is due to close on 15th May and we desperately need your help to save it. The closure of the Camp public house demonstrates how vulnerable communities are to speculative and aggressive development tactics. An application to register the Camp as an Asset of Community Value has now been submitted to St Albans City Council. With the closure of the Camp imminent, we need you to help us urge the Council to accept the application to list the pub immediately. This will ensure planning permission is required for the pub to be demolished or converted to any other use. The listing also gives the community an opportunity to potentially come together to form a co-operative group to buy and run our local pub. Please sign this petition and urge the City Council to accept the nomination to ensure the pub continues to be part of our local community.760 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Steve Bury

Force Supermarkets to use re-cyclable packaging for all foodstuffsThe amount of food sold in Supermarkets is astronomical and the packaging is still around 40% non re-cyclable. This is hugely damaging to the environment.Sorting through my waste is so dis-heartening when I keep having to put this packaging into the landfill bag.1,227 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Damien Moignier-Beasty
