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 what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The UK Government has not given the Scottish Government or Parliament powers to schedule a referendum on independence.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we could accept a petition calling for the Government not to allow any future referendums on Scottish independence.
