Open Require a UK referendum before independence referendums or transfer of powers

Created by William Style
Closes on

I believe the whole country will be affected by any further transfer of powers to parts of the UK. Therefore I feel all voters should be given the chance to vote in a UK-wide referendum so all voices are heard. I believe further devolution of power isn’t legitimate without absolute majority consent

I believe that our national politicians always should seek beyond any doubt to represent us all in everything they pursue for the national benefit. I feel we all have a legitimate interest in any structural change to our nation, and that it remains a great strength that the majority's voice is represented, not just that of a local majority. Therefore, there should be a UK-wide referendum for all citizens to give approval for the further devolution of powers, or even moves for independence, before any decision relating to devolution in the component nations of the UK are agreed upon.
