Scottish independence

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has written a letter to Theresa May formally requesting a second Scottish independence referendum, raising a number of legal questions about whether and how it can and will be held.

Scotland's Parliament voted Tuesday to seek a new referendum on independence from Britain, clearing the way for the country's first minister, its top lawmaker, to ask the British government to approve such a vote.

Deputies in the Parliament in Edinburgh voted in support of the initiative of the Scottish government for the holding of a new referendum on independence.

The Parliamentary majority which includes deputies from the Scottish National Party and the Scottish Party of the Greens voted in support of the government's demand.

The Scottish Parliament has backed Nicola Sturgeon’s call for a second independence referendum in a vote that could lead to Scotland separating from the UK. With 69 votes in favour of her proposal and 59 against, the Scottish First Minister ensured the mandate for a second referendum to take place between 2018 and 2019.

Maybe they reach sexual maturity very young in Scotland. What else could explain the fact that they are going to have another referendum on Scottish independence only three years after the last one?

When answering a question whether they prefer independence, self-government within the framework of the United Kingdom or not to have a Scottish Parliament at all, 46% of the Scottish people said independence. This is the highest rate of support for the separation of Scotland since 1999 when the idea was put forward for the first time.

Parliament has passed the Brexit bill, paving the way for the government to trigger Article 50 so the UK can leave the European Union.

Peers backed down over the issue of EU residency rights and a meaningful vote on the final Brexit deal after their objections were overturned by MPs, according to Reuters.

The bill is expected to receive Royal Assent and become law on Tuesday.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on March 13 demanded a new independence referendum to be held in late 2018 or early 2019, once the terms of Britain's exit from the European Union have become clearer.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced that she will submit a request to Parliament to schedule a new referendum on independence next week.

Before that, however, London's approval is needed and London is adamantly against this.

After saying “NO” to their independence and after their participation in a referendum that had the “Brexit” as a result, now the Scots want yet another chance to say that they actually want to be independent. It seems they are never happy with the results of the elections they take part in…
