What the petition asks
We want the UK Parliament to allow and enable Wales to hold an independence referendum. We think the people of Wales must be given the chance to vote in a Wales independence referendum so they can choose to either stay a part of the UK or for Wales to be an independent country.
Some groups in Wales want Wales to be an independent country. An independence referendum could allow the Welsh people to decide the future of Wales.
We want the referendum question to be "Should Wales be an independent country?" The people can then choose to tick Yes or No.
