Rejected petition Don't call a second Scottish independence referendum
On the 24th of June 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. Yes, Scotland voted to remain but even with the SNPs double lock majority we would be leaving anyway (Wales, England and Cornwall) voted to leave which means a majority of the home nations wanted to leave.
