Ban party donors from Lords & eject donor peers (with possible reappointment)
- 105 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 120 - 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.

Hold a referendum on using Alternative Vote (AV) for general elections
- 22 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 102 - 1 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.
Make Care Experience a Protected Characteristic across England
- 83 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 102 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Make 'care experience' a protected characteristic. This could give care leavers a higher chance of positive outcomes in their future and stop discrimination against people with care experience.
Make election days bank holidays
- 19 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 90 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We think the Government should make election days bank holidays. This could make voting easier for working people and full-time students. Many people cannot afford to take time off to vote or are too busy.
Make breaking a manifesto pledge trigger a General Election
- 57 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 83 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
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.
