Rejected petition English, Irish and Welsh referendum on Scottish independence

More details

Scotland generally benefits from higher levels of funding and better service provision than other parts of the United Kingdom to the disadvantage of the other areas. At the same time, it continues to seek independence.

We ask the Government to arrange a referendum of the people of England, Ireland and Wales which asks the question "Do you think Scotland should be removed from the United Kingdom and given independence"?

If a majority of the population in England, Ireland and Wales vote yes, Scotland should be given complete independence from the rest of the UK at the earliest opportunity.
