Rejected petition Void the Acts of Union 1706/1707 to Restore English and Scottish Sovereignty

We call on the UK Government to void the Acts of Union 1706 and 1707, dissolving the political union between England and Scotland.

More details

The Acts, passed without public consent, no longer reflect modern needs. Unequal devolution leaves England without a parliament, while Scotland seeks independence. Voiding the Acts would restore sovereignty, enabling both nations to govern independently. We urge a public debate and action to restore English and Scottish laws, prioritizing people’s will over an archaic union. The current system is not working, we need self determination.
