Another Scottish independence referendum should be allowed to happen

Petition Details

Whether you like it or not the SNP ran their 2016 campaign on a manifesto which included the right to another referendum.

They have a mandate.

This petition is a demonstration of the will of the people in Scotland, that we should have a second independence referendum.
