Petition Referendum for Universal Basic Income, paid monthly for UK working age citizens.

It is an income paid to individuals, as a right of legal residence, without means testing or requirements to work. The payment is non taxable and should be sufficient to cover basic needs. This would provide a secure floor for people to build on, rather than a means tested benefit.
