• Get Petition Against Mike Read Removed
    For the Importance of freedom of speech this kind of petition is not conducive to modern day Britain, it is restrictive and at most Insulting to peoples Intelligence and sense of fun. Will Richard McKenzie next be asking UB40 to be banned from performing in Public just because Ally Campbell is singing also in the Afro-Caribbean style?

  • Stop politicians misleading voters with fictional figures.
    It's a well known fact that the British population is a big target of social manipulation. From the newspapers to social networking. We are told how to think by what we view. Obviously not everybody believes in everything our media sources tell us. But when politicians give us figures to bolster their laws and regulations, that is when it too can get lost in translation. FOR EXAMPLE: The TTIP (transatlantic trade and investment partnership) has predicted an additional £10bn being added to the UK economy, with the EU reaping dividend of some £100bn if the agreement is sealed within 12 months. These statistics are a complete fallacy. There is no truth, no mathematical procedure, nor evidence to suggest that this trade deal will bring in such figures. In fact IBtimes, recently posted that A report commissioned by the Left political grouping in the European Parliament, released in March, echoed these views. The report found that "estimated gains from TTIP are very small"; that it will likely have minimal impact on EU unemployment and that any impact on EU exports (a maximum 10% increase) will take place over a number of decades, rather than immediately. The Left group added that the most zealous projections around TTIP fail to include the social and environmental impact of the treaty. But these factors are more nebulous, whereas the figures are just wrong. It is dangerous for our governments to blatantly lie through their teeth with false statistics to benefit their own agendas. This needs to stop. Right now. With your help we can make sure that the Government provides factual statistics, backed up with a mathematical, and practical procedure as to how they got that result, when contributing to political debates.

  • Independence for the people of Scotland From Westminster Rule
    We the undersigned are fed up with the lies and deceit that comes from Westminster. The empty and broken promises from before and after the referendum left many angry from both the Yes and No camps. We can not watch any more of our countries recourses being plundered when millions are being forced to use foodbanks. We will not allow any fracking or nuclear waste to destroy or land. The only way to get the powers that Scotland need to survive is to become a full independent nation with or without Westminster's permission.

  • A referendum should occur for 16 and 17 years olds having the right to vote
    We have seen in the Scottish referendum that 16 and 17 year olds have voted on a rational basis and not as protest votes. I truly believe that if we are living in a so called "liberal democracy" or "representative democracy" then the voting in the general election must represent the whole population and therefore represent those of a younger age for the fairest outcome and the fairest election. The Scottish referendum had a ground breaking turn out of almost 85%. If we allow younger ages to become part of the electorate , then more of a fair change may come about.

  • Demand input into UK constitution
    The UK is hanging together by a thread - cries for Scottish Independence and English Devolution will not go away whilst the existing constitution is so unbalanced and clumsily constructed. There needs to be radical overhaul bringing together the 4 nations of Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England in a fair and structured way that gives each nation proper representation. The future of the UK constitution should not be decided by political parties in their own best interests, but by a national conversation that includes representatives from all sections of society. We need all political parties to commit to holding a constitutional convention after the next election that will seek the views of all. If the UK disintegrates, it will affect us all - we have a chance to shape our own future and create a stronger, fairer UK that will survive the test of time. If you agree that the future of the UK should not be decided by politicians alone, then please sign the petition now.

  • TFL's Cycle Super Highway meeting needs a neutral Chair
    Decisions that can affect the interests and safety of the people of London and Britain should be made in a way that allows the public to be confident that no-one involved in the decision stands to make personal or corporate gains from the outcome.

  • Political Debates 2015 - All Parties Large and Small
    In a country that is supposed to be democratic with a media that is supposed to be unbiased it is yet again being wholly biased with its 2015 debates. Asking the usual suspects and then inviting Nigel Farage whilst leaving out other parties is undemocratic and unfair on the electorate who want to hear all parties views and policies so they can make a fair and informed decision on who they want to run their country! : SNP who are now the United Kingdoms third largest political party 80,000 + and rising : Greens who are a bigger party than UKIP : SSP To name just three who deserve the right to be heard equally in the media debates or are the media and the parties invited afraid of the impact that will have in the actual polling stations on the day? We as an electorate demand that all parties are heard equally in the debates in 2015

  • Allow SSP Representation at the Smith Commission
    The SSP campaigned along with the SNP and Scottish Greens for independence. They contributed heavily to Yes gaining 45% and to the pressure exerted on Westminster, which inevitably forced them to 'vow' to Holyrood greater devolved powers. Colin Fox, party spokesperson, was on the advisory board of Yes Scotland. It is, therefore, only right that the SSP should be represented during the discussion of greater powers. The membership, and support, of the SSP has vastly increased since the referendum, so to say they should not be invited because they do not currently hold representation at Holyrood is ridiculous. Through their increased memberships and support, it is evident that they do hold representation. Therefore, they should be present. For more info, see Colin Fox's article below: http://sspcolinfox.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/ssp-protest-our-exclusion-form-lord.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

  • Rescind England's membership of the UK
    There have been a lot of complaints from England about subsidising the other nations of the United Kingdom. There is also resentment from the other nations that England dominates all aspects of UK life, from parliament to the BBC and most other aspects of UK culture , language and political direction. As England subsidises the rest of the UK and must therefore be the richest and most able part of the UK, it follows that it must be the most capable of 'going it alone'. Removing England from the UK would therefore allow it to become more successful whilst also allowing the periphery nations, principalities, etc to continue to grow and prosper within the centuries old framework of the current United Kingdom. It will also allow England to make its own decisions on EU membership, immigration control, etc without affecting the position of the rest of the UK.

  • True democray- people power
    Here's what I Propose Its a simple system, there's a 'problem that needs solving' or a 'Decision that needs to be made' , the elected rep of the people aka 'Administrator of the peoples wishes 'should put forward solutions for each 'problem/decision' for the public to vote on, on a government website,, if the solutions get a no vote then another solution is needed, voting by internet, text, phone line, email etc with your national insurance number/bank/email verification to avoid double voting.This system of the public voting daily from the comfort of our home is only possibly due to the technology we all take for granted today, phones computers and internet etc, and allows us the Public of the British Isles to control what our government does thus ensuring it works in our best interests. For example The public to vote on creating our own currency not dependant on private banks- The printing of our own Bradbury pound so we don't borrow from credit card company/Private bank aka The Bank of England (yes its not a bank nor of England- just a corporation) would stop our national debt growing exponentially and declare previous debt unlawful ( common law without honour by the lender and lendee , prev governments) as in whats just happened with Wonga loans and thus this would clear our national debt, this would have a impact on how much tax you pay as there is no debt or interest of the government so in effect people would keep more of their wages for themselves. We can currently withdraw our pensions to our bank accounts, and our savings /current accounts from there we can purchase online Gold (by purchasing online we do not cause a 'run on the banks' where we all try to get the bits of paper ,cash that represents the money in the system of which there is not enough and you get civil disorder chaos etc), we then take our gold to the bradbury bank and if you bought £5000 GBP in gold then it is deposited for £5000 Bradbury pounds, The gold sits there as the peoples gold (no borrowing, gambling loaning etc it just sits there), you can go back to the Bradbury bank and walk away with the same physical amount of gold that you originally deposited, this way our gold is actually linked/traded in net weight not what the market is doing that week. This allows the UK public to move their hard earned life savings pensions to Gold to the Bradbury pound.This gives us a real tangible asset based currency. Rough estimates from my experience of credit and debit is that around 1/3 of the Tax you pay on your wages is paying the interest on the bank of england credit card that our government has borrowed. How much better of would you be without paying that interest? similarly look at mortgages, a mortgage of £1100 interest is around another £350 if its a capital and interest mortgage, so how much would your life change if a mortgage was £350 roughly a month, for some that would mean home ownership. We do not launch any kind of military action without public voting, yes even if its an aid drop with military acting as bodyguards it needs to be voted on. We should be able to have almost everything the government does as a vote able item on a government website. If The people would like me to be a ' Administrator of the Peoples wishes' who is also 'the normal guy' do feel free. I'm horrified by these councils closing housing estates to make luxury flats that the poor cant afford. I'm astounded at the bullshit planning laws that make it so difficult for you or me to buy some land and build a home on it for our families- funny the developers don't have this problem. AND YES I'M APPALLED AT HOW OUR COUNTRY WILL BE WRECKED BY FRACKING. I see myself as no different to the everyday man in the street with exactly the same rights as you. I do not see myself as being above the Law. which as i see it has problem at the moment namely Conflict of Interest, with a policeman acting under oath as a police constable and upholding common law and preventing a breach of the peace and then also acting under a corporation title of police officer enforcing corporation statutes (parliament legislation) onto Citizens, Surely the parliament statutes should only be applicable to Corporations and not citizens- thus being in essence a citizens safeguard ensuring corporations are controlled, this would also remove the conflict of interest in the policeman's job titles as he is only enforcing corporation statutes against a corporation not a citizen.If you like how i think and what i say then feel free to elect me as 'administrator of the peoples wishes' as i envisioned this truest form of democracy 10 years ago, i never wanted to get into politics but the world i see coming tomorrow for my boy and your children is not a free and pleasant world for innocent children to grow up in, just under the fracking issue they will have licences to frack 60% of the UK and that means that those fields and streams and meadows we want our children to have will be on land leased by
