Abolish the Act of Union Bill

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The proposal for an Act of Union Bill is a disgrace. It doesn't allow for proper democracy within the UK as the UK is made of separate nations and should not be bound together by any more than a treaty if the people of that nation so decide.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Revoke and Repeal the Act of Union 1707 (Treaty of Union)
