What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to ensure that any referendum advocating constitutional change should have at least a two thirds majority for it to succeed.

What the petitioner did first

In addition to writing to my constituency MSP Maureen Watt and attending one of her surgeries to discuss the matter I have also had email correspondence on the subject with Liam Kerr MSP, Lewis Macdonald MSP and Mike Rumbles MSP.
