Scottish independence must be decided by referendum vote of entire UK electorate
Scotland currently forms part of the Union that is the United Kingdom & their independence would affect the whole of the UK. Therefore, the entire UK electorate should have the right to vote in any referendum on Scottish independence.
Current Scottish leadership maintain that Scotland should be independent from the rest of UK as do a percentage of their supporters. However as part of UK they still have a say on matters which are only relevant to England, Ireland or Wales. To that end, we believe that it is only right & fair that the entire UK electorate be allowed to vote in any referendum concerning the future of the Union & Scotland's part in it.
