We Want Proportion RepresentationThe 'great British democracy' which you have campaigned so passionately for in recent months needs changing. An Oxford educated man will understand that the current first past the post system is failing. For to long have we had to live with an outdated electoral system which leaves millions of us unrepresented. In the 2015 general election 5.1 million people voted for UKIP and Green and each received only 1 seat. Whereas the Lib Dems received 2.4m votes and won 8 seats! I speak as someone who has been unrepresented in parliament ever since I came of age, I voted in the last electoral reform referendum which was a mere humor exercise as the vote amounted to no real change. If you are gong to 'bring democracy back', bring a representative one. P.S. if you have time also reform the House of Lords - your campaign made a point of highlighting the unelected European Commission yet you seem to forget your friends, the appointed 'Lords'.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jack ashby

REQUEST TO CAMERON HE STAYS IN TILL END OF TERMDear All... I am not Cameron's greatest fan. He has however, just led us through one of the most profound exercises in democracy in recent British history. And considering he has been through his own baptism of fire, he has done this with a good degree of elegance. The outcome is not what Cameron, or 48% of those who voted, wanted. But he has not made "a mistake". He has not acted unethically. He will surely have learnt much from the past few months. Like a captain who has steered his ship through unchartered waters, he has brought it through, if not where he hoped. So why, why, with this experience which will have strengthened him, given him a calibre rarely acquired by most, would he step down? It is my belief that stepping down, while seemingly an act of integrity and high mindedness, is in fact deeply misguided. We are now going to be subject to the election of a leader who will represent 150,000 votes. This, while not being a reason for Cameron to retract, is already untenable. Cameron's resignation is adding a complete double whammy to the roller coaster ride ahead of us. The last thing we need is a largely unvoted for leader. What we do need is a leader who despite this act of democracy having an outcome other from his hoped for outcome, still has the strength to carry the country through. To me what Cameron is doing is akin to that crazy habit of troops leaving a war zone just because one side has won or lost. It exacerbates the resulting impact. I would like to write a letter to Cameron to request that if enough of us vote for his remaining throughout his term, that he heavily considers the "will of the people". Please let me know what you think. My letter to David Cameron, which I am happy to have revised, is below. (I shall await for potatoes being thrown my way!) "Dear David, You have just facilitated one of the most profound acts of democracy in recent British history. You have done this with strength, and for the most part, a great deal of integrity, and elegance. It is my belief that as the current leader of this country, or captain of a ship, to use one of your euphenisms, you have been through your own baptism of fire that will have provided a strength and experience rarely acquired. I have never understood the policy of resigning because a result is different from the original intention. It is not failure. It is simply a different outcome. As such, I believe your act of resignation, though seemingly high minded, is deeply misguided. It is now, that we need you, above all, to continue what you began. We do not need the double whammy of an unelected leader, (save for 150,000 votes), that does not represent "the will of the people". This is akin to troops being instructed to leave a war zone when one side has won or lost, and we well know the catastrophe that that leaves in its wake. The "right thing to do," now, is to stand strong, as you have done, and stay in place till the end of your term. What the country needs at this point is continuity and stability, and the person who conducted this entire referendum, who has gained massive strength from it, has to be the one who remains at the helm. To do this will take you into the realm of statesmanship. I vote that should "the will of the people" opt for your remaining, till the end of this term, that you do so. Respectfully, Jill Bonney,17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jILL Bonney

The UK demands a General Election in 2016At such a pivotal moment in history the UK electorate needs to give its sovereign authority to a new government to chart our future course during Brexit negotiations. David Cameron has announced his intention to step down as Prime Minister by the Conservative Party conference in October. Whatever the outcome in this internal process of selecting a new leader, this person, and their colleagues, will be significantly different from the Conservative Party that was elected last year.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Booth

Please let's not allow this phenomenonal city to lose the very things that make it what it is - its open-mindedness, its inclusivity and its forward facing outlook.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Hadley

Force Britten-Norman Manufacturing to pay Reparations to Jo Cox's FamilyAs many of us now know, Britten-Norman flew a self-funded 'Vote Leave' plane over Trafalgar Square at Jo Cox's memorial- silencing her husband temporarily during his tribute to his late wife. This disgraceful act of political points scoring is a prime example of the lack of class and compassion the Brexit campaign holds largely. While the referendum will soon be over with, I believe Britten-Norman should pay reparations to Jo Cox's family due to their gross misconduct. Despite their claims that this was a mistake and the plane was flying several hours later than planned, if it was that much of an error the pilot wouldn't have flown in such proximity to Trafalgar Square, drowning out Jo Cox's husband while he spoke. The aircraft manufacturer should be ashamed of themselves, and should be held accountable for their actions.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sam Anderson

Sack Dominic PeacockDominic Peacock is meant to be representing the public, yet how can the public respect him when he has such blatant disregard for Jo, her grieving family and the hundreds of people who loved and admired her. Jo Cox was what every MP should be: brave, kind, decent and a true humanitarian. Dominic Peacock is the total opposite and really lives up to the latter half of his surname. In one stupid tweet he has demonstrated everything that's wrong with politicians today: there are far too few MPs like Jo Cox and way too many Dominic Peacocks - devoid of compassion and empathy, with massive egos and a total lack of common sense. I for one do not want such a pathetic excuse for a man continuing to serve the public, a role he clearly has no aptitude for and does not deserve.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bev Williams

Postpone the EU Referendum: Voters need neutral informationIt is not true that there is no objective information about the EU referendum. There are many objective and neutral studies which show the real complexity of the issue. Even now, when both sides of the referendum are apparently trying to have a sensible debate in the wake of the killing of Jo Cox MP, the important details are not being explained to the electorate. Please watch this video for an example of the complexity that has been lost in this debate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USTypBKEd8Y&feature=share3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lindsay Cundall
