Rejected petition Expat Scots Say in Scottish Referendum

More details

Allow Scots living in other parts of the UK the right to vote on the future of their Homeland.

Many Scottish people have spent the majority of their lives contributing to Scottish society, prosperity and culture, only to be denied the vote if they happen to relocate for work or family.

It's unfair to punish the Scottish people who call Scotland home. Many Scottish people consider themselves "on loan" to England, Wales or Ireland and intend on returning home to Scotland. Bringing with them, cultural diversity and experience which is what has made Scotland the strong nation it is today.
