Rejected petition Dissolve Scotland membership of the United Kingdom if it chooses independence lite

More details

Independence lite or full devolution would mean that Scotland would get all the advantages of independence but would not be paying for its defence. Under independence "lite" it keeps all it taxation in Scotland whilst England and Wales pays for Scotlands defence. It also gets defence orders which go to other parts of the country.
