Rejected petition We, the undersighned, support a referendum on independence for the north of England as a whole.

More details

Parliament does not meet the needs of the people of the North of England. A campaign for devolution for the north east does not go nearly far enough as it does not include Merseyside, Yorkshire etc. I believe we should have the choice to decide whether or not to continue to be ruled by Westminster or to rule ourselves.
