Rejected petition To stop political parties using countries flag as a political statement

SNP have now taken political possession of the SALTIRE as well as changing its colour to sky blue. Non SNP supporters now believe that if they fly or wear the flag as a lapel badge everyone believes they are SNP supporters which they are definitely not. They now feel they are being marginalised.

Support on Facebook is now growing with regards this matter and official representation should now be made to make this an offence.
