Dangers of Sky LanternsSky lanterns may look pretty, but the frames can kill or harm farm animals, and the candles are a major risk to crop yields and buildings. They are also a potential danger near airports as they can distract pilots, and the Coastguards are concerned as they can be mistaken for distress flares. They add little to enjoyment, and the problems with them far outweigh any fun people find in them. They should be banned.86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tim Wells

Ban private cars in Central LondonWe have critical levels of pollution, congestion and obesity in London. Our children have the highest levels of obesity in the EU. In Holland and Denmark where more than 50% of children cycle to school they have less than half the obesity levels. Children and adults are also suffering from health issues caused by dangerous chemicals from car exhausts. At present cars dominate our roads in Central London even though the large majority of households do not own a car (69% in the city, 63% in Westminster). Many more people would like to cycle and walk but find the number of deaths and injuries from motorised traffic off putting (tragically 1,216 fatal and serious injuries in London the year ending June 2014) Please help us make this radical change in London's transport system and reclaim the streets for pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy without fear.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rosalind Readhead

Make Zero Hours Contracts IllegalBecause people on these contracts have no security. They have no paid holidays, no sick pay, no way of budgeting/planning. If they get no hours, they can't sign on because they are 'employed' Companies are using these contracts to fleece the government, because they know that no matter how low the pay, the government will make up the difference.136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Pam Craig-Smith

Save London's Curzon Soho cinema!Curzon Soho is one of London's flagship arthouse cinemas. Recent announcements revealed that it may be knocked down to make way for the Crossrail 2 development. The West End Extra newspaper originally broke the story about a possible demolition and it was taken up by the Daily Telegraph. The Guardian and many other publications have also picked up the story. On 17 April 2016, The Observer published an excellent and detailed article outlining why the battle to save Curzon Soho matters. Read it here http://gu.com/p/4ta6b/stw - West End Extra article: http://bit.ly/1zOGIfQ - Daily Telegraph article: http://bit.ly/1Bgvjrw - The Guardian: http://bit.ly/1PrZK4W In the recent past, Curzon Soho has been named the best cinema in London by readers of the listings magazine 'Time Out'. However, this unique, lovely and important cinema is under threat as it has been named a "surface area of interest" by those organising the £25 billion Crossrail 2 project. Losing Curzon Soho would be yet another nail in the coffin for the arts in London for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority. Any proposal to demolish this wonderful cinema would be yet another example of the rampant 'beigification' of London. Londoners should unite and reject any proposals to destroy our cultural heritage. Those of us who want to save Curzon Soho from such a destructive and shameful fate need to fight for its wellbeing right now. A petition signed by 1000s of people whilst the open consultation process is ongoing may just make developers think twice about demolishing our arthouse cinema. We need the power of signatures to help us convince developers that the cinema is worth keeping and important to many people.48,814 of 50,000 SignaturesCreated by Curzon Cinemas

Introduce checks on owners of care homesThree Cornish care homes for adults with learning disabilities have been forced to close because of the behaviour of the company director. Most recently, one home closed six days before Christmas with residents who had lived together as a community for some time being spread across other homes, some of them many miles away from families. The 24 staff, some of them single parents on low wages, were left unpaid. The same can happen in any part of England because of the lack of control over ownership. Anyone can buy a residential care home, whatever their background. Please sign this petition to prevent this situation from affecting more vulnerable people and their carers.324 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Janet Edmondson

Remove Katie Hopkins from all Social MediaIn the last week Katie Hopkins has on Social Media posted some of the most offensive material relating to the George Square Accident & the Ebola Case in Scotland. She seems to think that this is acceptable social comment rather than offensive racist trolling. Anyone who has any decency would be disgusted with her comments & anyone not in a 'position of power' protected by the establishment would be prosecuted for inciting hatred in the way she does.250 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Robert Sinclair

A call for a review of the SNP Government's oil revenue estimates.Prior to and since the referendum on Scottish independence there have been repeated allegations that the SNP Scottish Government deliberately and recklessly overestimated the oil revenues an independent Scottish state would collect whilst simultaneity playing down the importance of these monies to public finances.These allegations have become so persistent, wide-ranging and detailed that they are now undermining the credibility of the SNP Scottish Government. It is in the interest of both sides of this debate that the Scottish Government (Mr John Swinney) commissions a fully independent review of the basis for the oil revenue estimates it used to support its case for Scottish independence and publish considered analysis of how a independent Scottish state could have managed any oil revenue shortfall .141 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Scott Arthur

Corporation Tax IncreaseLarge profitable companies get away with paying less than ordinary people, in parliament you will hear the politicians arguing about the top rate 50 p for personal tax. Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKCvf8E7V1g USA Principles Applie to the UK MPs hardly ever talk about corporation tax mostly because of vested interests in large companies, and old beliefs in capitalist market being able to take care of everything. The figures below tell you the facts vote now: Personal Income Tax Tax rate Taxable income above your Personal Allowance Basic rate 20% £0 to £31,865 Most people start paying basic rate tax on income over £10,000 Higher rate 40% £31,866 to £150,000 Most people start paying higher rate tax on income over £41,865 Additional rate 45% Over £150,000 Vs Corporation Tax 21% April 2014 The government would be able to spend the 50% tax money on public services such as the NHS, Schools, and Legal Aid, Police, Fire Brigade and other public sectors !82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Viran Patel
