Try Tony Blair for the Iraq warIraq is now a failed state and home to terrorist groups such as Islamic State. There is great intolerance between shi'ite and sunni communities which did not exist before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Many British and American servicemen lost their lives and millions of civilians have been killed,displaced or orphaned.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Doherty

Hold a General Election to decide Brexit GovernmentBecause the UK must now to take steps to begin to function as a sovereign country independent from the European Union, it is only democratic that the people of Britain are given the chance to elect a party who they believe are best suited to run the country following the Brexit vote. The state of the country has changed vastly since the last election and many would agree that a conservative government are not desirable in a post-Brexit Britain. The people must seize back the power by voting in a new election for the government in which they now have confidence.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alistair Shanks

Team OrdersF1 is a viewer based sport, without viewers, both at the venues, and at home watching on tv, there would be very little point in racing. Viewers don't want to see a race outcome decided by team orders, they want to see the best driver win in his own merit. At the moment Mercedes are at the top of the pack in F1 and offering some thrills to viewers by letting their drivers race wheel to wheel if the opportunity arises.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Smith

Referendum on more powers for Welsh Assembly GovernmentWhen we had the last referendum on more powers being devolved to Wales the question included this statement, which had been agreed by both groups of politicians, AM's and MP's "The Assembly cannot make laws on subject areas such as defence, tax or welfare benefits, whatever the result of this vote.". Since then Ministers in both Westminster and Cardiff repeated that promise of asking the people again before more powers are devolved. That promise has been quietly dropped and so when more powers, such as tax raising powers, are allowed they won't be legitimately endorsed because there has been no opportunity to agree or reject them, another broken promise from politicians.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Henderson

Sack the Transport Minister - Get our train system backThis is important because it should be possible for all sections of society to travel peaceably and with reasonable certainty to their destinations safely and on time. The present minister has been instrumental in promoting the railway companies to engineer strike action which she can avoid instantly by telling them to stop all such actions and leave the system as it is. By not doing that and avoiding her direct responsibility in this she has forfeited her right to be a minister of the crown, as she has clearly demonstrated that she is prepared to let millions of the electorate suffer day in day out for ideological reasons only. This is an abdication of her supreme responsibility as a Minister of the crown. We the electorate are now no longer willing to tolerate her and the railway companies able to inflict this economic and human stress on the population.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gerard sauer

Say No to Jericho's Stolen ResourcesThe Dead Sea cosmetic products company Jericho Cosmetics trades from stalls in Aberdeen’s Union Square and Trinity Centre. Dead Sea products are made with minerals illegally extracted by Israeli authorities from occupied Palestinian territories surrounding the Dead Sea. We appeal for a peaceful boycott of all Dead Sea products and for the closure of Jericho Cosmetics stalls on the following basis: 1- The extraction and commercialisation of resources from an occupied territory by the occupant is prohibited by UN resolutions and the Fourth Geneva Convention [1]. This is exactly what Israeli authorities are pursuing by commercialising Dead Sea cosmetics. Notably, Palestinians have no access to such resources. The exclusive access of resources to a section of the population based on ethnicity amounts to apartheid as defined by the UN. 2- The Israeli army has created 4 military checkpoints in the West Bank and has enforced inhumane restrictions of movement on Palestinian civilians. This seriously impairs the life of tens of thousands of Palestinians living in the West Bank, including children, who have to go through these checkpoints every day to reach their schools and hospitals [2, 3, 4]. The Israeli army is also fostering an apartheid culture by stopping Palestinians from accessing the beach resorts while these are being used by Israeli citizens [5]. 3- The Israeli settlements have hijacked the fresh water resources, with the consequence that now some Palestinians are consuming less than 40% the minimum recommended by the World Health Organization. This also means that the traditional Palestinian agriculture is becoming unsustainable [2]. Sustained campaigns in Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh have resulted in the closure of Dead Sea cosmetics stalls in shopping centres across Scotland. We urge Aberdeen’s Union Square and Trinity Centre to also distance themselves from the theft of resources and human right abuses by removing Jericho stalls from their premises.

Jeremy Corbyn please agree to the suggestion of a progressive allianceWith the Conservative government and Labour Party in disarray we want to use this as an opportunity for profound change. At this pivotal point in history we want you as the opposition party leader to demonstrate leadership and solidarity and work together with fellow progressives. Sharing ideas and vision, as Together we are stronger. We want to prioritise the Earth And the Welfare State. Please be flexible and join together with other progressive thinking parties so we can defeat this right wing growth orientated unsustainable and unequal Conservative government. We want a coherent and strong alternative. Many are choosing far right ideals out of fear and ignorance. They would choose the side of justice and compassion for all if there was a viable alternative. We are desperate to be shown a creative model of flexible thinking. We the undersigned want you to be able and willing to work with those wanting sustainable change. We can work out the details as we go along. Unite together please So that the hegemony of corporate greed, wealth disparity, deep sociological and ecological sickness can be fully addressed. So that the pretence that "all is fine" can cease and we can find intelligent and creative ways to live in harmony with the earth and each other. It would also mean finding progressive ways to work with Europe. The focus of the European Union needs to reconnect to its basis, harmony with each other and the earth and needs to shift from growth economics to cooperation with nature.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Victoria Lewis
