What the petition asks

As Cameron said we were trusted with this decision, give us the freedom and opportunity to ensure a brighter future. Truly trust in our creativity, arts, engineering, science and the British spirit of resilience, tolerance and ingenuity to bring us into a bright and hopeful future.

Basic income is an income unconditionally granted to all on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement.

Reasons to support the basic income, basic income will;

1) help us rethink how & why we work.

2) contribute to better working conditions.

3) downsize bureaucracy.

4) make benefit fraud obsolete.

5) help reducing inequalities.

6) provide a more secure and substantial safety net for all people.

7) contribute to less working hours and better distribution of jobs.

8) reward unpaid contributions.

9) strengthen our Democracy.

10) be a fair redistribution of technological advancement.

11) end extreme financial poverty.
