Hold a national referendum on introducing Digital ID
- 5,875 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,956 - 22 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe Government plans for Digital ID represent the most radical change in our governance since universal suffrage. We want the Government to put this plan to the people via a referendum before proceeding with what we feel is a monumental shift in how we are governed.

We call on the UK Government to introduce legislation—similar to the Senedd Cymru Wales (Member Accountability and Elections) Bill—to create a criminal offence for all election candidates who knowingly make false or misleading statements during campaigns, and for MPs while in office.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 97 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce a citizens’ initiated referendum system, allowing the public to propose and vote directly on legislation when a minimum signature threshold is reached, modelled on Switzerland’s direct democracy system, which has operated successfully for over 150 years.
Review rules to protect voter freedom and ensure secure UK elections
- 88 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 89 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to set up a review of current electoral rules to ensure every vote is cast freely, securely & in secret. We believe it should strengthen polling station rules, tighten postal voting safeguards while keeping access for those who need it & review who should be eligible to vote.
Create a Cross-Departmental Strategy to end "Zero-Consequence" Culture for Crime
- 67 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 69 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The government should consider:
Mandated police attendance for all retail crime, even "low-value" theft
More legal protection for staff from dismissal when upholding the law
Updated curriculum to teach more accountability
More direct consequences for offenders to replace collective school bans
Limit postal voting to elderly, disabled, people overseas & military personnel
- 57 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 57 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Limit postal voting to people who are elderly, disabled, overseas and part of the armed forces. We believe voting should otherwise be in person in the voting booth. This could ensure that every vote is private, free from pressure or influence, and could protect trust in our democracy.

The government is dysfunctional. Current policies ranging from Universal Credit, NHS social care to Brexit are causing great dismay. This country deserves better. The government refuses to contribute to parliamentary votes, uses filibustering tactics and lacks transparency. This is not democracy.
