This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want the Scottish Parliament to be given powers to legislate for a referendum on Scottish independence in certain circumstances, but it's not clear what you mean when you refer to "economic thresholds" and "timeframes".

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
