Prohibit the Scottish government from having another Independence referendum.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The Scottish people overwhelmingly made a choice in 2014 to remain part of the UK. The Scottish Government under the SNP declared they would stand by the decision whatever the result and that its was to be a once in a lifetime decision and 2, 3 or 4 years as they are now making out.
The build up caused nothing but animosity, families falling out and communities split in many cases never to be fully healed for years or ever again! On present feelings we feel that the situation could very well be much worse this time round, and therefore ask that Parliament put a stop to it.
