Scottish Party leader Nicola Sturgeon hopes to lead Scotland to independence
LONDON
The Scottish National Party on Sunday said its landslide victory in Edinburgh’s devolved parliament was grounds for a fresh independence referendum, despite opposition from London.
While the Scottish Party campaigned on promises to hold a new vote, the UK government – which would need to give formal legal permission – is opposed, raising fears of a protracted political and legal battle.
Now the nationalists say their slightly increased share of seats, one short of an overall majority of 65, gives them a mandate for “indyref2”, so called after the “no” vote in Scotland’s first independence vote in 2014.
