Create a cross-party agreement ruling out a 2nd Scottish Independence referendum

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Scotland, in 2014, voted to remain a part of the UK. We voted as one nation, leave the EU. Scotland has made their mind up, and that decision should be respected and upheld. Let's protect our precious union and create a cross-party agreement to disallow a 2nd independence referendum.
There isn't an appetite for a 2nd referendum.

Britain should get on with leaving the EU and tackling our domestic issues, not talking about splitting up. The United Kingdom is one of the best unions ever created, and we should protect it. It's clear that Scotland don't want another referendum.

Let's protect our union - the best union ever created.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

This petition seems to be calling on political parties, not the UK Government or Parliament, to take action.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
