Rejected petition UK wide referendum on breaking up the country.

More details

The devolved parliament of Scotland wishes to hold a referendum asking citizens living in Scotland if they wish to leave the union. If this referendum resulted in a "Yes" vote, it would result in the break up of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as a whole country. Citizens of the UK living anywhere else will have no say in this fracturing - even those of Scottish birth or ancestry.

I call upon the UK Government to hold a legally binding referendum, open to all eligible voters in the entire UK, on whether we wish our country to be split up, or whether we wish it to stay as a single unified United Kingdom.
