Make Diversity Hiring Illegal—End Racial Discrimination in Employment
Outlaw diversity hiring to encourage employment decisions based on merit, abilities, and qualifications, not protected characteristics. Racism isn’t a value—it’s an act of discrimination. Even well-intentioned, it creates division and inequality.

Positive discrimination is already unlawful in Britain. It is legal for employers to take positive action that aims to reduce disadvantage, meet different needs and increase participation. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to ban positive action to reduce disadvantage, meet different needs and increase participation, if that's what you want to happen. You can find out more about existing rules on positive action here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/positive-action-in-the-workplace-guidance-for-employers/positive-action-in-the-workplace
