The Scottish Nationalparti get big gains in british elections and crushes The Conservatives and Labour.
Scotland should have another opportunity to vote on independence from the Uk.
that is How it sounds from the party leader Nicola Sturgeon, after a valgnat which gave great prosperity for The Scottish Nationalparti (SNP) at the uk parliamentary elections.
She believes that she has been a “renewed, refreshed and strengthened” mandate to hold a new referendum on scottish secession from the Uk, citing the newspaper The Scotsman her to say.
Why will the scottish government next week to present “a detailed democratic plan for the transfer of power, which could make a referendum possible,” she says Friday according to the BBC.
the SNP got a nice increase, and secured 48 of the 59 seats in Scotland at Thursday’s british parliamentary elections.
In England and Wales stormed Boris Johnson’s conservative forward. But in Scotland they met the wall.
the Party stands to be more than halved from 13 to only six seats. Worse yet it went to a Labour party almost wiped out in Scotland. The party took six seats back and looks to end with just a single mandate.
Jo Swinson, who is the leader of The Liberal Democrats in the Uk, had to suffer the indignity not to be chosen in his scottish constituency.
– There is now a mandate to offer the Scottish people a choice to decide over their own future, said Sturgeon earlier in the night to Sky News.
– There is a clear desire and a big support for Scotland is not to be under a government with Boris Johnson and skinned out of Europe against our own will.
Boris Johnson may have a mandate to get the Uk out of the EU. But he does not have a mandate to take Scotland out of the EU. Scotland must be able to determine its own future.
For the newspaper The Scotsman elaborates Sturgeon consideration:
– At the british level, it is a pretty bleak result. But it shows the different paths that Scotland and the rest of the Uk is on.
the Scots were last in the 2014 referendum on independence from the united kingdom. Then voted 55 percent of scots opposed. But almost two out of three scots voted in a referendum in 2016 to be in the EU.
