Rejected petition English to be given a vote on terminating the Act of Union

More details

The recent Scottish independence vote asked Scottish residence whether they wanted to terminate the Act of Union 1707.

The other party in the Act, England, was not given an opportunity to express whether they wish to terminate the Act and remove Scotland from the union.

A referendum by the people of England is needed on this topic
