UK Parliament Petitions

Require a full licence to be eligible for business use motor insurance policies

Many food delivery riders on L plates haven’t passed a test; just a CBT every 2 years which shows they can move & stop a bike safely, we feel it doesn't show they have road safety awareness. We think they may be causing insurance premiums t

Introduce higher tax on plastic gardening pots

We want the government to tax plastic gardening pots more highly. It is estimated that around 500 million plastic plant pots are produced every year and many end up in landfill. We think this is unsustainable and it's time we used natural a

Review how domestic abuse survivors are treated when there are retaliatory reports to the police. Ensure dual investigation of abuse and counter-claims, and consider making false reports used to silence or intimidate domestic abuse victims,

We want the government to protect letting agents against dangerous tenants and give them full access to tenants' criminal histories, including beyond just convictions, so they can decide whether to accept them.

Create a public body to represent vulnerable and low-income people in the UK

The government should create a statutory public body with the legal authority to represent vulnerable and low-income people in housing, welfare, data protection, healthcare, and access to justice. This must be independent and publicly accou

Teach Clare’s Law in school for young females & males

I want the government to mandate teachers to teach secondary school children more about the dangers of domestic abuse relationships & the signs. The main thing I believe should be taught in school is Clare’s Law. I think it is so important

Do not abolish the requirement for voter ID when voting

The Government has said it is reviewing and assessing the Voter ID policy. We do not think the requirement for voter ID when voting should be removed, as it could trigger fraudulent votes.

Review how police deal with dogs, including using tranquiliser guns.

We think the government should review whether the police should use tranquiliser guns instead of real guns when dealing with dogs they think are a danger. We believe that the police need to be better trained in dog behaviour and learn to ta

Raise the National Living Wage to £12.50

We believe that raising the National Living Wage to £12.50 could help ensure fairer pay amid rising living costs, help reduce in-work poverty, and help boost consumer spending. It could support workers and families while stimulating the eco

We call on the Government to implement a policy requiring schools to have half-days on either Mondays or Fridays. Our policy aims to improve well-being, increase productivity, and create opportunities for students to engage in extracurricul

Increase Private pay in the army so it's not the same as the Recruits'

Recruits who have not yet completed their training are receiving the same annual salary of £25,500 as fully trained Privates (including all equivalent ranks). We think revised pay to increase Privates' pay, honouring their potential risk

Legislate to require MPs who leave their party mid-tenure to face a by-election

We believe if an MP defects from their party they were originally democratically elected in, they need to face a by election in their constituency to uphold the principles of democracy in the UK.

Ban vaping. Prohibit the sale, manufacture, and importation of all non-pharmacy vapes, restricting legal sales to pharmacies, and limiting flavours to tobacco, mint, or menthol.

Bring all Social Care into the Public Sector under the NHS & stop means testing.

We demand the government bring all Social and Community Care under the NHS, fully funded by general taxation. We believe neither Social Care, Community Care, nor the NHS should be for profit, but remain free at the point of use.

Require parliament to approve publicly funded second office for the PM

We call on the UK Government to cancel plans for a publicly funded second location for the PM’s office without a clear public mandate to do so, and without publishing the costs, and evidence that it represents value for taxpayers.

Include the Endocannabinoid System and Omega-6/3 Balance in GCSE/A-Level Biology

We call on the Government to include the Endocannabinoid System in the GCSE/A-level curriculum. We believe that this vital system is missing from the curriculum, leaving students completely unaware of how diet can drive chronic disease.

Review conventions relating to MPs’ dress in the Commons Chamber

Electoral law allows candidates to stand under a commonly used name. However, Commons rules by convention require business-like attire, with guidance issued and enforced by the Speaker. Consequently, a Member elected in character might not

Car Insurance Coverage to Be Vehicle-Based, Not Driver-Based

Change insurance laws so that cars themselves are insured rather than each driver on each car.

Limit postal voting to elderly, disabled, people overseas & military personnel

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 influen

Reinstate Rebated Red Diesel For Construction, Mining and Logistics Industries

From the 1st April 2022, the Government removed the 'Red Diesel Rebate' for the Construction, Mining and Logistics Industries. This has had a massive impact on the cost of production and logistics of products across the country. This rebate

Require all public toilets to include a baby changing facility for everyone

All public toilets must include a baby changing facility for everyone, ensuring men can easily care for their babies too. This is essential for equality and convenience, and should be mandatory in all public establishments that provide toil

Stop the Houses of Parliament renovation: Spend it on our NHS instead

Cancel the "Restoration and Renewal" program. Instead of spending up to £39bn on the Houses of Parliament (Palace of Westminster), the Government should build a modern, cost-effective seat of democracy for a fraction of the cost. Savings mu

Legally ringfence Vehicle Excise Duty revenue for transport infrastructure only

Vehicle Excise Duty was originally established to fund road maintenance and construction. Since the ending of its hypothecation in 1936, revenue has no longer been exclusively allocated to road-related projects. We believe VED should be rin

Change the law to allow evidence gathered through the use of polygraph tests in Family Court cases.
