Rejected petition Allow Scotland to Remain a member of the European Union Scotland Voted To Remain

The Government are aware that Scotland voted against leaving the European Union during the Brexit Referendum in June 2015. Scotland should be allowed to remain within the European as a single member.

More details

Because the government is imposing a brexit that Scotland didn’t vote for and that Scotland don’t want. The government should be recognising Scotland position and that we either should be allowed to remain within the European Union or be given the choice to vote on Scotland’s future with The UK in a Independence Referendum.
