Let England have an independence referendum , solving the Brexit crisis

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

If England decides to become independent, it would leave the U.K. and The EU over night. And allow England to forge its own path in the future . Allowing Wales/Scotland and NI to stay in the EU as the Political entity called the U.K.
In 2014 the Scottish voters were told that by voting for independence it would mean that if the country gained its independence, it would AUTOMATICALLY leave the EU .
So it would also be true for England .
