Get parliament to legislate to reintroduce reusable asthma inhalersThe NHS and government constantly whine about how there's not enough public money for high quality health care, so why not instigate positive change by eliminating unnecessary waste? Big Pharma wastes billions from the national purse by making disposable medical implements. In their paradigm, waste and inefficiency makes their profits soar and grows their business because the public can always be relied upon to foot the bill. A simple way to stop the NHS hemorrhaging money is to curb this inefficiency. Too often we read reports about life saving operations that cannot be performed or expensive medicine that is withheld to suffering patients because of limited NHS funds, but the truth is that this will not stop until it pays Big Pharma to become efficient. Asthma sufferers are a good case in point. They literally cannot survive without regular use of their inhalers but are forced to discard its expensive delivery mechanism. Prior to the 90's the inhalers used to be smaller, cheaper and reusable but Big Pharma actively plotted and lobbied to make them much more expensive (see article) http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/10/heres-why-your-asthma-inhaler-costs-so-damn-much If we succeed in instigating this simple common sense initiative, the principle can be applied across the board. This will benefit all but the monopolists that don't seem to care less whether the 99% live or die.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amar Biswas

Create a Neighbourhood Plan nowWe are starting this petition because of an increasing number of threats to Minchinhampton's green fields from developers seeking to profit from turning agricultural land into housing. The Local Plan for Stroud, yet to be approved, will be an inadequate defence against further predatory assaults in our view. The Parish Council claims that those who want a Neighbourhood Plan represent a narrow interest pressure group. This petition is to demonstrate that many parishioners want a Neighbourhood Plan to allow them a say in the future of their Parish.92 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phil Raby Smith

Reduce child poverty in WalesChild poverty in Wales is currently at 31% and has been growing for decades. This means almost 1 in three children in Wales are not receiving the basic essential things in life that will help even their children one day get out of child poverty and the problem is getting worse. Failing to do this will see further suffering of Welsh children and they will not be able to reach their true potential in life whilst indirect costs of government such as law and order, social costs and health related costs in future will escalate.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Crutcher

Boris, repay the money you spent on water-cannons.The mayor should be held to account for wasting public funds. In 2014 the London mayor spent £218,000 of public funds on three unauthorised water cannons, jumping the gun before they were approved to be used in Britain. The Home Secretary has since upheld the ban on these dangerous weapons, so now London is lumbered with three illegal, expensive machines bought on a whim by the Mayor. Rather than keeping hold of them, Boris should sell off the water cannons and refund the public for any money he's lost us including any cost incurred in the storage of these machines.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roy Saint

Ikea UK - end the use of wild animals in your adsIkea have released a series of images and an online advert featuring monkeys and a toucan. On the surface this seems harmless, cute animals being funny with everyday objects. However, wild animals belong in the wild. They have complex welfare needs, and shouldn't be used to sell products. In the UK we have moved past this type of advertising, no longer do we think that the PG tips ads, with monkeys selling tea, are acceptable. In the same way there is an overwhelming sense that circus with wild animals should be banned. Whilst the centre who cooperated with Ikea on this ad will have considered the animals in their care - using wild animals in this way sends out completely the wrong message. Ikea have judged this incorrectly, you only need to look at the comments on Instagram to see this. Whilst some are complaining, others are saying how cute the animals are and how they want them as pets. Something which is totally unacceptable.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Alcock
