Hold a referendum on Scotland welcoming 20,000 Afghanistan’s.
Sturgeon tweeted “While the announcement of a UK resettlement scheme for Afghan refugees is welcome in principle, the commitment to 20,000 in ‘long term’ and just 5000 this year is woefully inadequate. I call on UK Gov to go further to meet its responsibilities. @scotgov ready to play full part".

Scotland has a major issue with drugs. With 1,339 deaths registered, the highest number since records began we should be focussing on issues at home including our own homelessness, mental health crisis and on top of that, due to Covid, the economy is crashing.
This decision should never have been made with no vote from the public. No one was elected on a manifesto or promise to do this.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about policy of the Scottish Government are a matter for the Scottish Government, not the UK Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
Your petition is about something that the Scottish Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.
The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee.
