In the next 5 days my petition to Westminster demanding that they give a section 30 order to allow Scotland to hold ‪#‎indyref2‬ will go live (after being checked to make sure it is valid - which it is - we checked). It goes without saying that we need it to hit the ground running. That's why I have setup what is called a thunderclap. Whats a thunderclap? Well put simply. You goto the site, add your support using your facebook and twitter accounts, then on the 1st of july, everyone who has supported it will see that you support it. Why? Because at the same time, every supporter will auto post and auto tweet the link to the petition. What is the petition? Simply put it states "We demand the Westminster Government to grant a section 30 order to allow Scotland to have a referendum on Scottish Independence from the UK". Whats a section 30 order? Simply put, it is an order which grants Holyrood permission to run a formal referendum. If they agree to it, it makes the referendum legally binding. If they don't agree to it, it makes them look like undemocratic sods and Scotland instead holds what is called a non-binding poll instead. A section 30 order is also called supplementary legislative competence. In otherwords it is an order that temporarily devolves a matter which would usually be reserved to westminster, to holyrood. Either way, the petition will, if it gets 10,000 signatures, get a formal written response from the UK Gov. If it hits 100,000 there will have to be an open debate in the House of Commons about it. Either way it puts the Referendum right back in the spotlight. Goto thunderclap now and add your support using your facebook account, twitter account and if you have one, your tumbler account. You can do it here, it only takes a moment, but it lights the fire under the Yes campaign. https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/43784-second-scottish-indyref?locale=en OF COURSE ON THE 1ST OF JULY YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO SIGN THE PETITION YOURSELF. :-)
