Petition · past parliament

To allow all of the UK a vote on Scottish Independence if a referendum is held.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The break up of the United Kingdom affects every person in the country, not just Scotland. This is particularly so if Scotland leaves and then rejoins the EU. Therefore this petition seeks to secure the rights of all citizens to have a vote should another referendum be held.

Why it was rejected

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

Any future referendum vote on Scottish Independence must be given to all the UK.
