10,000 Scots just emailed the UK Prime Minister demanding indyref2

Since Friday afternoon, more than 10,000 (and growing) supporters of democracy have emailed the UK Prime Minister asserting Scotland’s right to choose its own future, and demanding that he respect the fact that all three Celtic Countries (three quarters of the UK and NI) are now governed by First Ministers who want to leave this unbalanced broken Union.

The emails were sent through Believe in Scotland’s Action-Petition software. Petitioners also emailed their MP and MSPs urging them to stand up for democracy and support the Scottish Parliament’s vote to demand the powers to hold an independence referendum.

If you have already signed, thank you for adding your voice. You are making sure Westminster knows Scotland won’t take No for an answer from a Prime Minister who arrogantly thinks he can deny Scotland’s people the right to choose their own future. Please also remember to share the petition with friends and family so that we keep up this momentum.

If you haven’t signed our petition yet - why wouldn’t you? - It’s inaction, and waiting for others to act, that has allowed a succession of glaikit British nationalist Prime Ministers to get away with glibly repeating “Now is not the time”.

Aye, it is. So sign here and help build the pressure

You can read the full text being sent to the Prime Minister here:

Dear Prime Minister,

As a voter registered in Scotland, I am writing to demand that you respect the democratic mandate delivered by the people of Scotland and the vote in the Scottish Parliament demanding the powers to hold an independence referendum be transferred to Holyrood.

On 7 May 2026, Scotland elected the largest ever pro-independence majority in the history of the Scottish Parliament. 73 MSPs were elected from parties that support Scotland’s right to choose its own future. That is a clear democratic mandate for a second independence referendum.

Now that the Scottish Parliament has voted to demand that the UK Government transfer the powers required to hold that referendum, I believe that you now have a moral and democratic obligation to accept that mandate and not delay or try to attach restrictive conditions to obstruct Scotland’s democratic will.

The United Kingdom claims to be a voluntary union. If that is true, then Scotland’s right to choose its own future must be respected. A union cannot be voluntary if one nation can be held inside it against the democratic will of its people and its parliament.

This is also now bigger than Scotland alone. Across the UK’s Celtic nations, constitutional change is inevitable. Scotland has elected a pro-independence majority. Wales is governed by a party that supports Welsh self-government and has called for greater constitutional powers. Northern Ireland has, uniquely, a legally recognised route to a referendum on Irish reunification, and the Northern Ireland First Minister has called for clarity on how the process is triggered.

The constitutional process for the Celtic nations remains unequal and unclear. England, by contrast, appears to face no such permission barrier. If England wanted to leave the United Kingdom, Westminster could simply legislate for it, even if every MP elected outwith England voted against. That exposes the democratic imbalance at the heart of the Union. England can veto the other nations’ progress to independence, but, massively outnumbered at Westminster, the Celtic nations have no such veto.

I am therefore calling on you to do three things:

Firstly, please respect Scotland’s mandate and immediately agree to transfer the powers required for the Scottish Parliament to hold a democratic referendum on Scotland’s constitutional future, in the suggested month of September 2028.

Secondly, meet with the leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to agree a clear, fair and democratic process by which each nation of the United Kingdom can exercise its right to self-determination.

Thirdly, publish the UK Government’s position on the constitutional rights of all four nations, including what process would apply if England sought independence, and whether the smaller nations would have any veto over that decision.

You may support the Union. You may hope that Scotland votes to remain in it. But as Prime Minister, your duty is not to obstruct democracy. Your duty is to uphold it.

Scotland has voted for the right to choose. The Scottish Parliament is now acting on that mandate. You must respect that in your meeting with Scotland’s First Minister, remembering that you have already agreed in writing that independence is on the agenda.

Yours for Scotland,

...

Sign now and add your voice to the demand for Scotland's sovereignty to be respected - Either they agree to a referendum or face a de facto referendum that they can't stop - this is just the first step to forcing the issue.
