Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Holyrood has failed the Scottish People
Recent surveys show only 17% want a 2nd Independence Referendum and over 20% of people surveyed want Holyrood closed as a failed experiment.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for the powers of the Scottish Parliament to be transferred to the UK Parliament, if that's what you would like to happen.
