Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible - 49,647 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 349,665 - 2,196 added in the past 24hrs)

I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.

The Government was elected on a manifesto that made clear there will be no return to EU membership. However, we are determined to reset the UK-EU relationship, putting it on a more solid footing.

Open Petition since 19th November 2024

Lower the voting age to 16 for general elections - 112 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,045 - 59 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe 16 and 17-year-olds have no say in their own future. Despite the profound impact that government policies could have on our lives, we feel the voices of our generation remain unheard. According to the Office for National Statistics, there are 1.6 million people aged 16-17.

If there is no agreement to leave the EU then brexit must be stopped - Final Signatures: 110,136

If there is no agreement by the deadline for reaching agreement with the EU during the talks then brexit should be stopped as leaving with no deal will be very bad for businesses and for the Irish border issue and for EU citizens living here.

Whilst striking a deal with our EU partners remains the outcome we expect, ‘no deal’ plans are well-developed and we stand ready to make a success of Brexit, whatever the outcome of our negotiations.

Have another general election - Final Signatures: 10,912

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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd May 2019 (View Full Response)
General elections are now every 5 years unless an early general election is called under the terms of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.
