Make the UK government accept Scottish government requests for a 2nd Indy Ref.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

On 23/06/16 Scotland voted to stay part of the EU. 62% of voters wanted to stay in. However, because the English voted to leave, we are being forced out. The Scottish government has discussed an independence referendum, which needs to be ratified by Westminster. We request the UK government accepts.
