Involvement and questioning the way political decisions are made is a vital part of the democratic process. Please find a way of allowing involvement by ordinary people while limiting the influence of powerful and self-serving lobbying groups.

I am shocked by the politicians who seem to think that civil society do not have a right to speak out against injustice and destruction of our environment. This is not democracy this is dictatorship over freedom of speech and a right to be heard. There is more to life than growth and profit which is only for the few and now a threat to take away our right to speak out about things that affect us all is an abuse of democracy.

To remove the voice of collective campaigns, is to remove basic human rights of the most powerless and vulnerable individuals in society

we must be allowed to lobby the government and M.Ps and not allow this government to limit our democratic freedom of speech.

Such blanket censorship completely negates any arguments about restricting the freedom of the press

Minority groups must be allowed to campaign freely about things that we care passionately about, not just the big influential organisations with access to government.
