Rejected petition Use the word "Separation" to replace "Independence" in order to combat the SNP.

The SNP are trying to rip the UK apart. They are playing a game based on semantics. The term "Independence" suggests "growing up" whilst the word "Separation" suggests a "divorce between adults". It will be harder for them to sell the idea of breaking up the UK if voters understand the difference.
