For HM Government to veto any attempt for a second Scottish independence vote.

What the petition asks

We the undersigned, in the interest of national unity, call on HM Government to reject any attempt of a second referendum on Scottish independence. The SNP government of Nicola Sturgeon, re-elected in May 2016, has no majority and therefore does NOT have a mandate for a second referendum.
