Replace the Union flag flying over Edinburgh Castle in Scotland with the Saltire

What the petition asks
Scotland didn't vote for a Conservative government but got one, We didn't vote to leave the EU but are leaving, and we didn't vote in favour of renewing Trident but it is getting renewed and will be based in Scottish waters. There is no democracy for Scotland as part of Great Britain...
The flag of the Union is supposed to represent unity between 4 "Family" nations, all working together to further democracy and boost not only our economies but our reputation across the world. Scotland rejects the flag of Great Britain as it does not represent a fair or democratic union and does not work in the best interests of our country.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
