Abolish personal allowance tapering
- 299 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 442 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
The highest marginal tax rate on income is 62% (Including the employee’s National Insurance) on taxpayers between £100,000 and £125,140. We believe it is unfair that these taxpayers have a higher marginal rate than those earning millions. The personal allowance needs to be returned to everyone.
Reduce VAT on LPG road fuel to 5%
- 138 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 394 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to reduce VAT on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) road fuel to 5%. Many UK vehicle owners have converted their engines to run LPG and this gaseous LPG fuel is more environmentally friendly than petrol or diesel.

Remove the 5% VAT currently applied to electricity and gas bills.

Require banks to give a specific, contestable reason before closing an account
- 269 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 329 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The law should be changed to ensure that before closing or freezing a customer's account, banks must provide:
1) A valid, specific reason for doing so
and
2) A clear and independent route of appeal.
Prevent banks from banning transactions with Cryptocurrency Exchanges
- 160 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 249 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Some UK banks are blanket banning Crypto related transactions. They say that this is due to fraud and consumer protection, but we believe it is in order to protect their own interests. We want the Government legislate against blanket restrictions to protect the economic freedom of the population.
Increase the minimum tax threshold to £15,000
- 82 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 248 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the current minimum tax threshold of £12,570 is too low and does not give lower paid earners enough leeway to achieve a better standard of living.
Review the HMRC Approved Mileage Payment Allowance
- 76 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 215 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
The HMRC Approved Mileage Payment Allowance for the use of private vehicles is very out of date, having been set in 2011. This means some companies are effectively being subsidised by their employees, as and the true cost of operating vehicles is often much higher than these rates.
Require MPs to disclose all shares in vulture funds
- 195 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 211 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I would like it to be mandatory for all MPs to declare any shares they hold in vulture funds.
Reverse budget announcement on a war memorial to recognise Muslim soldiers
- 140 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 202 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the Government's plans, announced in the budget, to fund a war memorial to specifically recognise Muslim soldiers should not go ahead, as we believe this is culturally insensitive and promotes sectarianism.
