SNP wins Scotland as Nicola Sturgeon leads demands for indyRef2
Holyrood election result will shape Scotland's potential journey towards second independence referendum sought by SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon
The majority of results have now been declared in the Scottish Parliament election, with the SNP the largest party but unlikely to secure an overall majority.
The result - which First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has described as "historic" - will shape Scotland's journey towards a potential second independence referendum, dubbed IndyRef2.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) is seeking a pro-independence majority to pressure Prime Minister Boris Johnson to permit another referendum on splitting from the UK, after most Scots voted in 2014 to stay in.
