What the petition asks
I would like to propose that HM Government of the United Kingdom make the four national saints day of of the United Kingdom national bank holidays across the whole Union. Similar to the St Andrew's Day Bank Holiday Act 2007 passed by the Scottish Parliament.
Each member of the UK should have their heritage celebrated and with the election of this current government promising to unite the UK we shouldn’t just be looking at political union but also a celebration of our family of nations. Scotland and NI already have their Saint bank holidays, the Saint George day feasts and saint David’s day celebrations get bigger and better every year. why not make them bank holidays and to further Unite us make all four bank holidays across the whole union.
