Index – Abroad – Scotland prepares for another referendum, splits from the United Kingdom

Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon prepares for the second referendum on Scottish independence. On Tuesday, he outlined his plans in a twenty-minute speech to MPs in the Scottish Parliament (Hollyrod) and announced that he would carry out his plan even if Boris Johnson and his government did not agree to it, writing Politico.

The first independence vote was held in 2014, when Scotland rejected independence. 55 per cent of voters voted to stay in the UK.

After independence supporters won a majority in Holyrood last year, Sturgeon argued that her government now had the ability to hold another vote. In response, Boris Johnson and UK ministers cited nationalists’ claims in 2014 that the first referendum would be a “one-off” and said sturgeon should now focus on helping Scots deal with the livelihoods crisis.

On the other hand, Nicola Sturgeon believes that conditions have changed since then, since the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, and this has been opposed by the majority of Scots. He says Scots have an “indisputable democratic mandate” to vote.
