Petition · past parliament

All the U.K. should be included in any second Scottish independence referendum.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The Scottish Government is planning a second Independence referendum. If the UK is to be split, then all the UK should have a say in this as is a UK matter and affects us all. So England, Wales and Ulster should also vote on this, not just Scotland only.
The UK will be weakened, particularly in defence terms, if it is broken up. Anything that potentially affects U.K. security and prosperity must be voted on by all of us. Many of us are loyal to our UK and it cannot just be broken up without all the UK having a vote.

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.
