The concept of applying a condition based solely on a demographic statistic is the definition of discrimination.\r\n4. Because of these unreasonable premiums, many young drivers choose to drive uninsured.\r\n5. Many other detrimental effects.\r\n\r\nI therefore propose the gov. enact a statutory maximum for first-time drivers.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2011-08-05T01:22:40.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:26:32.725Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-08-17T11:18:25.000Z","closed_at":"2012-05-17T11:18:25.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-05T01:22:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":3638,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/3638.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Internships: Make internships illegal","background":null,"additional_details":"This is an invitation for the government of the United Kingdom to consider the status of internships. The number of unpaid internships has climbed in recent years, which is very worrying given that more employers are illegally using such internships for free labor.\r\nIt is true to say that at present, the UK government is doing nothing to stop illegal internships. Nobody wants to work for free, yet thousands upon thousands of college students do it every year. They’re not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts or because its for a good cause. They do it for “experience.” Many internships offer fantastic learning opportunities, but more often than not the best internships also happen to be paid. Most internships offered by organizations in the UK are unpaid and breach national minimum wage laws.\r\n\r\nPlease sign this petition and help raise awareness for change.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2011-08-04T22:23:15.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:26:31.789Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-08-15T13:38:37.000Z","closed_at":"2012-08-15T13:38:37.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-04T22:23:15.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":998,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/998.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Balanced National Budget","background":null,"additional_details":"The government must introduce legislation to ensure that it does not pile up debts for future generations by compelling the government to produce a balanced budget that ensures that current expenditure plus allowances for future commitments does not exceed the revenue received by the government through taxes and other receipts.
