All Scots living in the UK should have a vote in an independence referendum

Petition Details

Amend the Scotland Act 1998 to the effect that all people living in the U.K. who could qualify as Scottish (one Scottish grandparent) should have a full and equal vote in any future independence referendum, after having proven their entitlement to vote in such a referendum.

Additional Information

There are 750,000 Scots living outside of Scotland (2011 census figures), and many remain deeply connected to Scotland. We believe it would be anti-democratic for Scotland to be removed from the UK without pro-Union Scots and pro-independence Scots who live outside of Scotland being able to have their say.
