Ensure parliament adequately represent rough sleepers and people without homes.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Our society fails to adequately care for many people without homes. At present nobody directly represents these people, and many are not given a vote. This is a question of caring for those who need help.

In our cities and towns many people are sleeping rough. Many more are struggling to find adequate accommodation. At the same time huge numbers of houses are left unoccupied, have low occupancy or are kept empty, to be used occasionally as second homes. New house building will not help solve this issue, as the rents will be too expensive (while others will prosper from a building bonanza).

Please sign this petition to give these people without homes a stronger representation in parliament.

We're not sure what changes you would like to see to ensure that people without homes are represented in Parliament.

You could start a new petition with a clear request for the change you would like to see.
