Rejected petition To Give All Those of Scottish Ancestry a Referendum Vote

More details

To enfranchise all Scots, no matter what their domicile or place of residence, so that they may help decide the outcome of the planned referendum on Scottish independence. The criteria for this right to vote could be similar to that required for a UK Ancestry Visa, that is for the applicant who wishes to vote to prove that he or she had a grandparent born in Scotland.
