Legislate a Democratic Exit Clause for All Nations of the United Kingdom
- 522 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 525 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Legislate to create a democratic, peaceful withdrawal process for any UK nation from the Union. We believe that without a more clearly codified exit route, the Union could risk becoming involuntary. We think this could undermine democracy and breach the UK’s international obligations.
Call a general election if a government breaks an election manifesto promise
- 350 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 498 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the UK Government to introduce legislation that would trigger an immediate general election if a governing party breaks a commitment set out in its election manifesto.
Call a public inquiry into Chinese influence on UK politics & democracy
- 353 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 492 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We are concerned about reported efforts from China to influence democracy in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Chinese influence campaigns in the UK.
Give More Power to Public Petitions to Force the Government to take Action
- 454 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 482 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We call for petitions on petition.parliament.uk to enable action beyond a debate. We feel recent petitions with huge public support have been dismissed by government, and that this undermines faith in the process. More milestones are needed which force governmental action.
Hold a public inquiry into claims & information made in the EU Exit Referendum
- 384 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 464 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the UK Government to establish an independent, public inquiry into the claims and information presented during the EU Exit referendum. Many reports and studies suggest that misleading or exaggerated claims were made by both sides, which may have influenced public opinion and the result.
Give the UK a General Election annually on the first Thursday in every April
- 257 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 437 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We think this would give democracy back to the people of the UK if a government is not making the changes the public expect or if not delivering their manifesto; they can be removed to avoid the extended damage the current system allows.
Mandate trauma-informed training in justice, healthcare, education & social care
- 312 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 420 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce legislation to require professional bodies to include accredited trauma-informed training as a mandatory requirement for professionals in justice, healthcare, education & social care. Embed into standards, inspections & safeguarding frameworks to ensure consistent understanding of trauma.
Require all UK MPs and Ministers to take and pass the Citizenship Test
- 98 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 389 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
Suspend any MP who fail the test within 6 months of becoming an MP until they successfully pass. Ministers should be required to have passed before taking any role.
Check that MPs’ declarations of financial interests are full and accurate
- 100 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 360 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
Check for financial discrepancies in every MP’s submissions to the Register of Financial Interests. This should happen as the self-declaration of interests that is currently being used seems to fail on far too many occasions.
Require Government Ministers to hold sole British citizenship
- 218 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 318 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
Cabinet ministers make decisions of the highest importance, including on defence, foreign policy, and national security. Holding citizenship of another nation may create perceived or actual conflicts of interest and can undermine public trust in government decision-making.
