Recognise PCS Union at National Museums Liverpool Trading CieWorkplaces that recognise unions tends to have better levels of pay, happiness and do provide better services to their users. National Museums Liverpool is a public service and should not be exploiting its workers, many of them only earning just about the minimum wage. Many employees of the NML Trading company are local young people and they deserve as much respect as their colleagues employed directly by the museums. As NMLT is fully owned by the museums, museum bosses should not pretend they cannot act or ensure better standards. Yes there have been budget cuts for museums but surely union recognition would not cost a penny and if workers were getting the real Living Wage and decent hours of work, they would be spending their wages in the local economy and not having to consider claiming benefits.318 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Clara Paillard

Fight the Law Commission plan to gag whistle blowers and the pressIt is threat to democracy and the suggestions being made by the Law Commission are more in keeping with a dictatorship than a democratic country. This could stop us ever knowing about the details of deals negotiated for Brexit; police surveillance methods of legitimate protestors; the truth about underfunding of the NHS. In fact anything an unscrupulous government doesn't want the public to know about.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maggie Hamilton

Voting for younger peopleTake the EU referendum for example. Many older adults voted to leave the EU, but the people who will be affected in the future by these changes didn't get a say in what happened. If the leaving the EU has its difficulties, then the younger people will be affected. That is why I want you to sign this petition.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Froggitt

U.K. fails to keep its promiseThis is an important matter because it effects the lives of so many young children. Every child deserve the right to a childhood, unfortunately many children from a war zone country like Syria are having this right snatched away from them. Many countries are opening their arms to refugees, and the U.K. should definitely participate purely for the purpose of an act of humanity. Please sign this petition and do share with your friends and families. If they were our children we sure would want the best for them. Let's make the UK the accepting tolerant country it once was. Her recent meeting with Donald Trump has influenced her with this decision, she has also failed to speak against the Muslim ban, despite her being the Prime Minkster of many Muslims. Many people have spoken against this. It just goes to show how the corrupt Donald Trump is beginning to have an impact onto the rest of the world. Not so long ago, there was a meeting held in parliament, for which they were discussing the matter of sending some aid in Syria, the members of parliament who were present that day was truly appalling, not to mention Theresa not even being bothered to show up. Being a British Muslim, and a daughter of two immigrant parents I have always been so proud of how Britian has given a hand out to people desperately seeking for help.Living in a country like this has meant I show pride in my nationality, however with the recent events, I am beginning to question this. Please don't let this country go down. Sign this petition today, and allow refugees to be welcomed in this country.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Aneesha Khan

Ask to Government to stick to their commitment of helping 3,000 unaccompanied child refugeesThere is an estimated 90,000 unaccompanied children and teenagers across Europe Help Refugees, one of the British charities working in France, had already launched legal action against the government's handling of Dubs. Its judicial review, which will be heard on Friday, argues that ministers failed to consult local authorities properly about how many unaccompanied children could be housed.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Jones

Recognition for National ServicemenThe National Servicemen were the school lads during WW2. Like everyone else they'd suffered the hardships of war: the air raids, the bombing, the gas masks, the rationing, a life of absent fathers, uncles and elder brothers away at war, evacuation to far away places, and many becoming the man of the house long before their time. When the war was over, they were as war weary as the rest, they'd had their share, but there was more to come for this generation of lads. When the war was over, those gallant heroes who had served so bravely in the war, had to be allowed to return home, and rightly so. However the country found itself with many unforeseen post war commitments. Occupied territories had to be controlled, the retreat from the empire had to be policed and a new enemy in the form of the soviet union was fast developing. The country was bankrupt and needed many men to fill the ranks. So, in 1947 the National Service act came into being, This required all young men when reaching the age of 18 to register for National Service. They would be required to serve two years in a branch of the armed forces, followed by many years on reserve. This continued for 15 years until 1962. Three thousand young men were taken from home to serve each week during that period, a total of 2 million young men. Choice did not come into it. They had to go. They had no control over which branch of the services they went in, what job the did, or where they served. They went when they were called, they served where they were they were sent, and did what was asked of them for this country without question. Also they did their service on half the pay given to their regular gallant comrades of equal rank and status, making a financial contribution to the country. They served in many bases around the UK, Europe and many conflict areas around the world. They were the bulk of our military manpower at the height of the cold war. During that period, over two thousand National Servicemen lost their lives and many more were injured. For the first and only time in the long history of this great country, young men were taken from home by rule of law to serve in the ranks in peacetime. They are unique. All request for a simple defence medal, similar to the one given to the Bevin boys (miners), Home Guard and other Civil Defence units during the war have been turned down. The youngest NS man will now be 75 years old, let's put this right before it is too late. Please support this petition.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by George Pickles

Do Not Overhaul the 'WikiLeaks Act'Extract from 'The Goldwater': "The current laws are being overhauled by the British Government as it seeks to ban journalistic freedom. This will be the first official reworking of the Official Secrets Act in 100 years. The new law will mean that whistleblowers who leak information will face a massive 14-year prison sentence."7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ismail Mir

Severn CrossingAlun Cairns (Welsh Secatary) wants to overule current law (1997) that states all charges will end when bridge PFI is completed. The government are planning to change the law to keep charges. This is abusing the British public and monies will not benefit Wales or South West.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ben Ford

Voting for 16 Year olds16 year old's have just as much knowledge about politics as anyone 18 or over. In the Uk it is a priority to tech Citizenship or some form of politics. In the Scottish referendum 75% of 16-17 year old's voted compared with 54% of 18-24 year old's. This has proven to work in Scotland, so i think that the Uk should apply this voting system as a Law.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ben Ingram

A Junior EU Referendum as a democratic exercise (16-18 year olds)Although Article 50 has been given the go-ahead to be triggered, it is debatable that young people (16-18), have a right to participate in deciding their future, perhaps than the millions of people who were empowered to vote on a matter that will not concern them as they will have passed away by the time the process of leaving the EU will have been completed. It is afterall, their future that has beeng decided for them.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ADAM SINDALL

Make Higher Education free in the UKHigher education has fees around £9000-£20000 per year. Not everyone can afford this education to pursue their career.
