What the petition asks
The SNP keep pushing for independence. Let the UK as a whole decide.
Scottish independence will affect the UK as a whole so all UK citizens should have their say.
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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly whether you'd like Scotland only to become independent if a majority of the UK vote for it, and what would happen if the vote in Scotland was different to the rest of the UK.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
