Explain how the EU advisory referendum became a decision
- 155 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 285 - 12 added in the past 24hrs)
The 2016 referendum was advisory, that point was put beyond question by the Supreme Court judgment.
We consider that an advisory referendum is an expression of opinion, it is not a declaration of will.
We cannot see any democratic pathway that enables that opinion to become a decision.

Hold a General Election once every twelve months
- 72 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 242 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe that UK Governments do not deliver on their promises, that they do not listen to what we think the majority of the public want, and that they take their position of power for granted. We think it is time to make changes so our leaders can be held accountable through a yearly review.

- 180 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 197 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We think misleading or telling lies to the public in public office should be criminalised. Public servants should function at a higher standard, and we think parliamentary standards alone haven't solved issues.
