Allow Scotland to Remain a member of the European Union Scotland Voted To Remain

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government are aware that Scotland voted against leaving the European Union during the Brexit Referendum in June 2015. Scotland should be allowed to remain within the European as a single member.

Because the government is imposing a brexit that Scotland didn’t vote for and that Scotland don’t want. The government should be recognising Scotland position and that we either should be allowed to remain within the European Union or be given the choice to vote on Scotland’s future with The UK in a Independence Referendum.

Why it was rejected

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

There is no mechanism for part of state to be a member of the EU, and changing this would be a matter for the EU, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
