Nationalists argue Brexit represents a material change in Scotland’s constitutional arrangements with Britain. FMTNews Brexit
EDINBURGH: Britain’s departure from the European Union has revived the debate for an independent Scotland, which was thought to have been settled in a landmark referendum nearly six years ago.
“I did vote in the last referendum and I actually voted to remain in the UK,” said Christopher Clannachan, who took part in an independence march in Glasgow earlier this month. Sturgeon wrote to Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson after the December general election, at which her Scottish National Party won a landslide across Scotland.
“There are no legal short cuts through that space,” Chris McCorkindale and Aileen McHarg added in the article, “Constitutional Pathways to a Second Scottish Referendum”. The SNP’s leader in the UK parliament, Ian Blackford, has said Conservative cabinet ministers had conceded that “Westminster cannot keep saying ‘no’ to a second referendum on independence”.
Earlier this month, an estimated 80,000 people braved icy winds and torrential rain, waving blue and white Saltire flags and calling for an end to “London rule”.
