Scotland to Veto Referendum vote to leave EU

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Please add your support to encourage Scotland ministers to Veto the Brexit result. It is too small a margin for too big a decision.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Scottish Parliament, you can find out more here:
