Rejected petition Vote on independence for Scotland

More details

For hundreds of years Scotland has been part of the United Kingdom. This has enabled citizens to travel, work and reside freely throughout the nation. Citizens residing lawfully outside their birth nation of Scotland are still Scottish and as such the UK Government should be protecting and insisting upon their right to vote in the upcoming referendum on Scottish Independence.
