Petition · past parliament

Pass a law requiring approval from all UK devolved regions to exit EU.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

It is undemocratic that Scotland should be forced to leave the EU due to an English majority in the referendum. There should be UK statute stating that approval must be gained from all devolved parliaments and assemblies and in the UK and Westminster for a UK exit from the European Union.
