Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The Universal Credit System has been the cause of so many deaths and homelessness cases since it was introduced nearly 7 years ago which is simply not acceptable, which is why we need "Universal Basic Income" Here explains more about why it is essential: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq2dqRWnzuI
At the moment "Universal Credit" has no restrictions due to COVID-19 but it won't last forever and things cannot go back to the way they were, we need a new system in place that actually helps the people instead of penalizing them. Alot of people on the welfare state are often referred to as "Scroungers" but that simply is not the case, are attitudes must change if we are to move on in a positive way. So please share this as much as possible so we can ussure in a new era for our people.
