Rejected petition Grant independence to the county of Yorkshire

Yorkshire is the largest county in England at 11,903 km2 with a population of 5,288,200 citizens. Yorkshire deserves to thrive happily as it's own state. A referendum offered to the people of Yorkshire exclusively with the options to remain or leave England as an independent state should ensue.

More details

We have a diverse and fruitful culture home to a proud and friendly people which must be preserved in the only way possible; through the independence of our home. I propose that borders remain open with England and trade may be open but on fair terms as opposed to England simply using materials sourced from Yorkshire with little to no return.
