What the petition asks
The devolved executive of Scotland is not working for Scotland they are opposing the UK Government at every opportunity. This Scottish Executive needs to be shutdown for the good of Scotland and the rest of the UK.
The Scottish economy is getting worse by the day due to the inept SNP executive. They are a one policy party intent on breaking up the Union any means possible. The do not understand how to restart the economy after this pandemic and are only interested in receiving more money from the UK pot to fund their policy of independence. The executive should be temporarily closed so that a full audit can be conducted.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Returning devolved powers would be a decision for the people of Scotland, rather than the UK Government or Parliament.
