Petition · past parliament

Hold referendum on wether the people of U.K. want Scotland to remain in U.K.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Scotland was asked if they wanted to remain in U.K. And they opted to stay but regardless of the vote they seem intent on disrupting the union but at no stage have we as individuals of uk been asked if we want to continue the union. Surely we have a right?
