Vote to decide on whether or not the Scottish Parliament should be Shut Down
Give the electorate of Scotland the opportunity to vote on whether or not the Scottish Parliament should be dissolved permanently.
Why is this important?
The people of Scotland were given a binary choice in the Independence Referendum: independence or the status quo. A majority voted for the status quo. There was no third option that more powers be devolved to the Scottish parliament and no one voted for it. Why then are the wishes of the majority being disregarded by the Smith Commission while the wishes of the SNP, who lost the referendum, are being catered for? This is an outrageous situation and shows utter contempt for the wishes of the majority. The Scottish people must now be given a vote on whether or not the Scottish parliament, which refuses to respect the wishes of the majority of Scots, should be wound up. I believe it should.
People have lost all confidence in politicians who they can see are not only contemptuous of the wishes of the majority but also grossly incompetent, wasteful of taxpayer’s money and irrelevant. They are fed up of their excessive taxes, irresponsible management of the Country’s finances, restrictive and unnecessary laws, rules, regulations and red tape that damages businesses, reduces people’s standard of living, strips them of their freedom, right of expression and liberty and harms the environment. We would all benefit from having fewer politicians, lower taxes and greater freedom.
For these reasons, I believe that we would all benefit from shutting down the Scottish Parliament. Politicians are a force for bad that we can do without. Please sign this petition, circulate it to everyone on your address book and help get rid of superfluous politicians.
