Revoke the TV licence at the end of 2027
- Final Signatures: 7,399
We wish the TV licence to be revoked when the BBC's current Royal Charter expires at the end of 2027. From that point the BBC should be funded in a different way, which does not require people to pay for a licence to view live broadcasts.
At least 30% of Local & Community Theatres are on the verge of total collapse and will permanently close by March 2021. Additional funding is urgently needed, to ensure their survival. Most of the £1.57bn "renewal fund" has been given to the larger theatres within the London and Metropolitan areas.
We want the Government to amend Act to allow the Trustees of the British Museum to approve restitution requests for the return of artefacts on a permanent basis. Currently, British Museum Act 1963 prohibits restitution and only allows for disposal of collection items in limited circumstances.

Increase the TV licence in line with inflation and maintain BBC funding
- Final Signatures: 291
The TV licence fee should be increased in line with inflation for the next two years, and no changes made to the arrangements for funding the BBC through the licence fee.
Add homophobic abuse to the Football Offences Act 1991
- Final Signatures: 58
An amendment is required to the outdated Football Offences Act 1991. At the very least, homophobic verbal abuse, chanting or behaviour should be made an illegal and arrestable offence if it occurs inside a football ground.
Often argued that other protected characteristics should be included too.
