Require all meat to be labelled to indicate the method of slaughter, as such
- 4,200 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 4,647 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to create a law requiring all meat to have a label, such as a simple ‘RS’ (Religiously Slaughtered.) or 'NRS' (Not religiously slaughtered), that states whether it has been religiously slaughtered or not.

Ban holiday companies from charging higher prices in the school holidays
- 341 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,042 - 27 added in the past 24hrs)
We think the government needs to ban holiday companies from charging higher prices for trips and flights during school holidays. We think it's shocking that nothing has already been done about this. Some families struggle to afford to take their children on holiday, especially abroad.

- 2,385 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,798 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)
We want a register owned by the Health and Safety Executive, like the Gas Safe scheme. We think such a register would enforce standards and ensure only registered electricians can purchase and install electrical equipment. We think voluntary schemes like NICEIC and NAPIT lack any legal authority.

Introduce measures to ensure fair pay for rideshare drivers
- 1,487 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,612 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Some firms can charge drivers commission fees of 25% or more of each fare. This can leave drivers struggling to earn a fair and sustainable income. We think this model places an unfair burden on drivers, who are essential to our transport infrastructure but we feel lack basic rights and protections.

Give maternity leave to those who've suffered baby loss from 20 weeks gestation
- 182 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 988 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
I wish for the government to grant maternity leave after baby loss form 20 weeks gestation. I think this should be an option for those who still need time to heal, as 2 weeks bereavement after losing your child is not only too little for a physical recovery but for mental recovery too.
