At Prime Minister’s Questions today, Chris Law asked Andy Burnham about Scotland’s right to determine its own constitutional future.

The Prime Minister referred to the Good Friday Agreement and its conditions to hold a Border Poll for the people of Northern Ireland. But of Scotland, he said:

“I am not aware that there is a majority of public support for another referendum.”

So let’s make sure he becomes aware.

We are asking people across Scotland — and anyone who supports Scotland’s democratic right to choose its own future — to write a polite, respectful letter to the Prime Minister.

Every letter should begin with the same simple question:

“Dear Prime Minister, are you aware that…”

What comes next is up to you.

It could be:

“Are you aware that support for Scottish independence has remained close to 50% for many years?”

Or:

“Are you aware that recent opinion polls have shown support for independence in the lead?”

Or:

“Are you aware that Scotland’s constitutional question has not gone away and cannot simply be ignored?”

Or perhaps a fact of your own that you believe the Prime Minister should know — which could include one of the many material changes since September 2014. 

ONE LETTER. ONE QUESTION. ONE FACT.

We’re not asking anyone to send abuse.

We’re not asking for insults or slogans.

We’re not asking everyone to send the same letter.

We’re asking Scots to politely put the facts before the Prime Minister.

Imagine hundreds — perhaps thousands — of letters and emails arriving at Downing Street, each beginning:

“Dear Prime Minister, are you aware that…”

Each person highlighting a different aspect of Scotland’s democratic reality.

If the Prime Minister says he is “not aware”, let’s help him become aware.

HOW TO TAKE PART

Write your own short letter.

Keep it polite, factual and respectful.

Begin with:

“Dear Prime Minister, are you aware that…”

Then make your point.

You can send it electronically through the official Prime Minister’s Office contact form:

Contact the Prime Minister⁠

Or write to:

The Prime Minister

10 Downing Street

London

SW1A 2AA

And then ask someone else to do the same.

Let’s see just how many different facts about Scotland can reach Downing Street.

Let’s make sure Andy Burnham or any future Prime Minister can never again say:

“We weren’t aware.”
