Ban party donors from Lords & eject donor peers (with possible reappointment)
- 104 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 137 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The latest list of honours has provoked renewed concern about appointments to the House of Lords. We believe too many appointments are made after significant donations, which can appear improper even where it is not. The simplest solution is not to allow party donors to be appointed to the Lords.

- 17 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 112 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
It has been more than a decade since we were last given the chance to change the way we vote. We think it’s time we got better representation in Parliament and that the current system has produced only chaos, where two parties rule.

Hold a referendum on creating regional assemblies across England
- 17 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 108 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe England should be split into regions according to those used previously in European parliamentary elections. We think giving these regions their own elected assembly would allow better representation of their distinct cultures and politics and provide a structure for English devolution.

I urge the Government to commission a new review to investigate systemic and institutional racism, engage with communities, and make recommendations for policy and legislative reforms, enhancing education, and supporting vulnerable groups, to combat racism and promote equality in the UK.

Make breaking a manifesto pledge trigger a General Election
- 52 Signatures

For any pledge that is part of the published party manifesto, that was in place at the election where the government came to power, if that pledge is subsequently broken, a general election should be triggered.
