Protect the rights of existing British and EU residents to remainThe 'Brexit' negotiations are likely to take considerable time. In the meantime EU citizens in Britain and British citizens in EU countries are suffering terrible uncertainty. The Prime Minister has said there will be "no immediate change in your circumstances". That is not enough. My 76 year-old father, who is living on a tiny British pension in France, is frightened that his healthcare rights will be removed or made too expensive. My friends of various EU nationalities are worried about their future in Britain; will they be allowed to remain indefinitely? Will they face discrimination or new barriers in their everyday life. A humane society that cares about its citizens must move quickly to allay these fears421 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Steve Melia

Political Campaign Claims to be Independently Fact Checked before UseThe EU referendum was a disgrace, both sides exaggerated and misled despite the particularly serious nature of the decision. Moreover, the Leave campaign was founded almost entirely on deliberate misrepresentation and creating imaginary fears. Democracy can only work with fair and accurate information and must not be reduced to who has the best marketing and manipulation strategies.664 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Vipul Patel

Divert £1bn to the NHS from the banksWe have voted to leave the European Union. Right or wrong, there it is. With the news this morning that Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, will make £250 BILLION POUNDS available for the banks to keep the financial markets of the UK stable, we are all complaining that the promise to divert much needed funds into the NHS was just rhetoric. Our Nation Health Service is falling apart. If this money is available to aid stability we should use a small amount of it wisely. The NHS is desperate for a cash injection, the banks are not. This petition is to the British Government, to supply the NHS with much needed cash to stabilise a true British achievement. The banks do not need ALL of the money and with the lies told for the leave campaign, its about time the people who devote their lives to helping others keep their health got a bit of a breather.4,415 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Mark Reardon

The youth (14-17) should have had the right to vote in the EU referendumThis is important because so many of the youths did not want to leave the EU but do not have a voice51,219 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellyse Simms

Call a General Election Within 6 Months of the Vote to Leave the European UnionWithout a general election, only 150,000 Conservative Party members will have the power to decide who the next Prime Minister is, and by extension the team who will negotiate our exit from the European Union. This is unacceptable. The EU referendum has proved that this country is deeply divided. Now is the time to allow people to try and come together behind a particular vision of post-Brexit Britain. The binary nature of this referendum has been divisive -- only a general election is the right way to try and build bridges to the future.268 of 300 SignaturesCreated by James Blanchard

The prospective leader of the Conservative party must pledge that £350m a week go to the NHSThe NHS is a dearly loved institution that is been squeezed by cuts, and one which faces an uncertain future in light of the EU referendum result and that 10% of its workforce comes from overseas. In order to protect its status as the best health service in the world, we need to ensure that it is properly funded. A family member is a nurse and their ward faces privatisation. This is not because it underperforms, but because of the revenue it brings to the hospital trust. The trust nonetheless does not have the capital to purchase new equipment, forcing it to consider private investment to meet this shortfall. Going forward, the extra revenue generated from the ward will go into private hands and not be reinvested for the benefits of patients. We can resolve this by ensuring the promises made by the leave campaign are met, overturning years of under investment that threatens patient safety, and which has put doctors at the mercy of hard nosed contractual negotiations by the Secretary of State.3,881 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Simpson

Protect the rights of E.U citizens living in the UKThere is much fear and uncertainty in a post-Brexit world, especially for E.U citizens who are currently living in the U.K. They have built our country, contributed to our economy, taken care of our elderly, taught us, healed us, loved us, started families with us, become our friends and colleagues. They have given so much to us, now we must do the same for them. The only difference between U.K. citizens living here and E.U. citizens living here is a passport, therefore their rights should be protected with absolutely no change. --------------------------------------------------------------- Picture credit: Medics at Homerton University Hospital64,278 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Ruth Lyons

Commit to a referendum on the revised terms of our relationship with the EUDuring the referendum on Britain's EU membership, both sides argued with great passion and urgency over what the future would hold if Britain were to keep or discard its EU membership. Given that many disputed claims were made on both sides over the consequences and opportunities of Brexit, more important than the decision to leave the EU, is the decision over what relationship remains with the EU. Knowing how consequential the new relationship with the EU will be for communities across Britain - in terms of trade access, rights to live and work on the continent, or which social consumer and environmental standards emerge at the end of Article 50 negotiations - we ask that these terms of this revised relationship be put to a majority vote of the British people. To not seek the consent of the British people on the terms our revised relationship will undermine the democratic basis on which the Brexit vote was made, with far-reaching consequences for the future of our democratic practices and culture.154 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Leo Pollak

Nigel Farage: call to apologise for "without a single bullet being fired"Last week Jo Cox MP was gunned down after her surgery. Bullets were indeed fired in the lead up to this vote. His comments are disgusting and completely disrespectful to the fact Jo cox mp was shot and stabbed to death during the political campaign http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/eu-referendum-nigel-farage-branded-shameful-for-claiming-victory-without-a-single-bullet-being-fired-a7099211.html5,492 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Kirsten Hepburn

Call for Early General ElectionWith the news of our elected departure from the European Union and the resignation intent of current PM David Cameron, I believe that an early general election is vital. There are many ways to implement this decision, and - having demanded more political control - the people deserve the right to choose the way forward, and who leads it. The quicker we call this, the quicker it can be decided and we can begin the serious job of negotiating a fair exit from the EU and restoring faith in a seemingly divided country. Under the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act an early general election can be called if a motion (as worded in section 2(2) of the Act) that there shall be an early parliamentary general election is passed by the House of Commons with at least two thirds in favour of the motion.3,188 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by karen van hoey smith

Call for a general election following the resignation of David Cameron.The Conservatives are no longer the party which was elected by a very narrow margin in 2015. Boris Johnson and Michael Gove do not have a mandate to lead the country simply by virtue of being on the winning side. We need a democratically elected government for a new and challenging phase of our country's history.522 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Lucy Townsend
