Rejected petition All UK citizens must be granted a vote on any matter affecting the act of union.

The SNP believe that any referendum concerning independence is a matter for the Scots alone. The outcome of any such referendum amounts to a vote for the dissolution of the UK. This will impact upon the lives of every UK citizen and as such all should be voted upon by every UK citizen.
