FBI vs Apple for Human BeingsI'm not a terrorist, my wife is not a terrorist, my kids are not terrorists nor are my neighbours terrorists. However, I do not want government to be able to access my personal information on my device, in the cloud or where ever and whenever they like. If you think that they will require a judges decree to access your data, think again. 1984 comes to mind, they work for us, they must listen to us. Go away, leave us alone and stop perpetuating war and devastation around the world!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Hughes

End the censorship of information on the EU referendum.With the UK about to determine its future in the EU, clear, unambiguous factual information is of the essence for the electorate to make that decision. The decision by the government to restrict documents from the ministers who oppose the governments view is a gagging operation. The censored information could be vital to this coming referendum, and consequently denies the electorate of the facts requisite to make an informed decision.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ROBERT KNIGHTS

Make the 29th February a public holiday!On leap years the British workforce do an extra day's work for free: anyone on an annual salary does not see recognition of this extra day's work in their monthly pay packet. We ask the UK government to recognise this fact and declare 29th February a national public holiday!18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Philippa Richards

AFFIRMATIVE PROTECTIONS FOR DISABLED PEOPLE IN THE NEW BRITISH BILL OF RIGHTSIn the past, whenever there have been protections for disabled people they have been implied and found to be able to be "short-circuited". The disabled people of the United Kingdom need to be sure of their protection against abuses of the State and its Agents or Contractors, but no longer to be considered as an implicit part of any decision as we can never be truly equal no matter how hard we try or how much society adapts to our existence. Express Affirmative Protection is absolutely vital!10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Cresswell-Plant

EU Referendum Votes for 16 and 17 Year OldsIt's important as the decision and outcome that is created will have a greater effect on younger people. Scotland allowed 16 and 17 year olds to vote in the Scottish Referendum, which what's the difference between that and this vote? Why shouldn't the people who are going to be affected have no say in the decision?24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Samuel Miller

Vote using an app. Give us more information and influenceBenefits * a more realistic reflection of the countries opinions * A more modern approach to voting, making it easier and quicker for people to do so. * A faster way to count votes with a more accurate result * People will feel like they have more influence and control over the political issues in our country * Easier for people to get involved with issues that they are particularly passionate about * People will have a more educated approach to voting as full information will be provided before voting. * Younger people will engage with their government and politics more. * Easier for over seas and military voters "Petitioning, a practice from medieval times, was used by the working class in the 19th century to demand the vote in their millions; yet the government of the time was quick to reject the multiple petitions they presented. The Speaker, John Bercow, promised that the internet would change all this. Indeed the public appetite for petitions has not abated. When the government launched its own e-petitions site two years ago, the volume of traffic caused it to crash on its first day. E-petitions can and do work. Remember when Malalai Joya was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize or when BBC 6 Music was saved from closure? How about when campaigners won a fight to keep a woman on our banknotes? These campaigns owe their success to the rise of digital platforms such as change.organd 38 Degrees." - theguardian.co.uk Let us once again petition to change the way that the UK public vote and influence politics, using the power of online petitioning, to ultimately create the equivalent power of online politics and voting. Sign up now and be a part of the modern political movement!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Whitby

Keep Fatima Naoot Out Of PrisonFatima Naoot's case should never have made it to court. It suggests the state is turning a blind eye to the advocates of religious extremism.

Tax Avoidance, No VoteThe principle of reciprocity currently seems violated by those refusing to pay what they are due whilst taking full advantage of their right to have their voice heard in how the nation is governed; seemingly undermining the principles of a democratic nation. Depriving tax dodgers of their right to vote may help tackle this trend, whilst adding to the national treasury, which seemingly fits in with the intent of current austerity programmes.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Billy Holmes

UK Government To Force All Supermarkets To Give Unsold Food To The NeedyThere is far to much food waste when we have people going hungry. All stores should be required to donate unwanted food to charities and to food banks. It should apply to any supermarket with a footprint of 400 square metres or larger. If companies flout the law they are to incur fines. Supermarkets are to sign a donation deal with charities, which will be able to increase the quality and diversity of food that they currently get and distribute. In terms of nutritional balance, they currently have a deficit of meat and a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. This will hopefully allow food-banks to push a fresh source of nutritional quality food to people and families in need.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cllr Sue Sampson

North TynesideDavid Cameron announced we’ll welcome 20,000 more Syrian refugees. But there’s a catch. This will take 5 years, leaving thousands of refugees in limbo. It’s now up to us to show that in cities, towns and villages all across the country we’re ready to welcome people now. Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria. So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need. Please sign and share, or start your own petition for your town or city here: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/efforts/refugees-welcome2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Erryl McLarty

Were people denied votes in the 2015 UK General Election?This is important because the UK is currently ruled by a Conservative government who are in power by the slimmest of margins. If all the people who were denied a postal vote had voted, would the outcome be different? Would the UK not now be suffering from the effects of austerity, the threat of fracking, the withdrawal of welfare and services to the needy and the tripling of the national debt? If the UK is a truly democratic country, I think this needs to be investigated.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Clark-Steel
