Rejected petition Referendums that could break up the UK have to be open to all UK born residents
As a British born UK national I claim the right to have a say in ANY referendum that could result in the break up of the United Kingdom. The SNP have stated that they intend to try to block the Democratic result of the EU referendum for political gain. Democracy is not a bargaining tool.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has told the BBC that Holyrood could try to block the UK's exit from the EU.
She was speaking following a referendum on Thursday which saw Britain vote by 52% to 48% to leave Europe.
However, in Scotland the picture was different with 62% backing Remain and 38% wanting to go.
SNP leader Ms Sturgeon said that "of course" she would ask MSPs to refuse to give their "legislative consent".
