Call for a second Scottish independence referendum before the formal EU Brexit.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Scotland unanimously voted to remain in the EU, in all 32 unitary authority council areas. A Brexit inflicted on an unwilling Scottish population deeply undermines the concept of nationally democracy, and the result not in keeping with Scotland's proud international and collaborative tradition.

A clear mandate exists for a 2nd Scottish referendum before UK exits EU. The democratically elected SNP manifesto states:

"We believe that the Scottish Parliament should have the right to hold another referendum if there is clear and sustained evidence that independence has become the preferred option of a majority of the Scottish people - or if there is a significant and material change in the circumstances that prevailed in 2015, such as Scotland being taken out of the EU against our will."
