Fix the School CurriculumA personal experience in mine was that I had been learning (and still am) how to answer question 3 on an exam I will sit once and forget about mere hours after it's completion. Most of the skills we learn in school are learned solely 'to pass exams' which don't assess students on practical abilities.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Logan Richards

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

Support the Council's plan to build new homes on Leyton marshesWe love and support the ambitions of working people to own their own home. The Lower Lea Valley marshes (Leyton marshes, Walthamstow marshes and Hackney marshes) are an amazing, open space on our doorstep, a place to use in a sustainable way to provide much-needed new land to build homes in one of the most densely populated cities in the world. We want to make sure the marshes are sensibly used to help tackle the ever-larger inequality of wealth in London so that future generations are not worse off than those that went before. This is why we are devastated to learn that a group of self-interested NIMBYS are campaigning to prevent the sensible proposals for Lea Valley Eastside (http://walthamforest-consult.limehouse.co.uk/portal/leabridge/leyton), to rezone a portion of the open space around The WaterWorks Centre for housing. This land is Metropolitan Open Land, which means it should be used to provide for appropriate development. If these plans are not approved, then the spectre of crippling poverty caused by massive imbalances between housing supply and demand will be felt even more keenly by those in the local area. We must tell the Council - loud and clear - that we will support building on the marshes.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cameron Penny

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

Circle productsTrash should not exist. Every product has still value after it's use, the materials the environmental costs of production are too high to simply reject and detroy, meanwhile creating another significant pollution factor we as a society have to deal with (and barely can). When you buy a product now you pay for it's production, packaging and shipment. The manufacturer doesn't have any responsibility after you've put down the money and took it home. Buying more and more is encouraged. Since a lot of products are not made to last or worse: one time use only, the responsibility for trashing or recycling it lays with you, your government or your local disposal facilities. We can share this cost or innihilate it by making circle products. Costs can be incorporated into the price or be sponsored through taxes (the way garbage disposal is funded already) or companies can simply reduce costs by using recyclable recourses or making their packing biodegradable. Making a more sustainable, healthy society and environment by creating economic responsibility at the source of production and design.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maria de Gier
