Rejected petition Gain independence from Scotland if they attempt to block triggering Article 50

Parliament have already debated the issue when ratifying the Lisbon Treaty (containing Article 50) and when passing the European Union Referendum Act 2015

What next? A General Election result is ignored because some people don’t like it?

Blocking the referendum result is unconstitutional.
