Scottish Vote Could Put Independence Back On Table

Scottish Vote Could Put Independence Back On Table
Pro independence majority in Scottish parliament to push for indyref2, other parties describe election scheme as 'divisive'
A second referendum for an independent Scotland could be in sight after the May 6 parliamentarian elections if pro-independence parties win the majority of seats.
The nation, which voted to remain as part of the UK in a historic 2014 referendum, also voted in 2016 to remain as part of the EU; however, they had to leave the bloc as a majority of votes across the kingdom indicated an exit.
Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Nicola Sturgeon has repeatedly said her country would not be dragged out of the EU and she would initiate a second independence referendum, dubbed indyref2.
