Proponents of Scottish independence have won an overwhelming majority in the Scottish Parliament. It is clear, therefore, that the current head of the Scottish Government, Nicolas Sturden, will remain in power. One of her main challenges will be to hold another independence referendum.
In a speech to voters, Sturden warned the Boris Johnson government not to try to obstruct a new referendum.
“If the Tories try to do that, they will not oppose my party, but the will of the people of Scotland.
This will make it clear that the United Kingdom is not a union of equal partners and that Westminster no longer even sees it as a voluntary association of nations. That in itself will be the strongest argument for Scotland becoming an independent state, ”Sturden said.
Similar to the British 4th television channel, Hannah Bardela, Member of the Scottish National Party in the British Parliament, has spoken.
She emphasized: “All Boris Johnson and the people of Westminster have to do is accept democracy. The Scottish National Party has received 85% of the vote and 80% of the constituency seats in parliament.
They have to come to terms with the fact that we have won these elections.
Although our party does not have a majority, there will be an unprecedented number of MEPs in the program as a whole who promised in their pre-election program to give the people of Scotland the right to fight for their future. “
Johnson has repeatedly said that Scotland’s future was already decided in the 2014 referendum. At the time, politicians promised that such a referendum could only take place once a generation. Therefore, there would be no reason to do so at this time.
By contrast, Sturden and her supporters insist that the situation has changed dramatically since Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. Most Scots would have liked to remain in the European Union and believe they have been forcibly withdrawn from the bloc.
Sturden has announced that the Scottish Parliament will decide when an independence referendum will be held. This will happen during the new parliamentary term. If the Johnson government does not agree, it can go to the Supreme Court and then the fight will take place there.
