Scotland held an independence referendum in 2014 and just over 55% voted to remain part of the UK.
Nicola Sturgeon has vowed to find another way"for Scottish people to express their will" after judges ruled that another independence referendum cannot be held without the backing of Westminster.this morning, the Scottish first minister said she will continue to push for independence, declaring:"We must and we will find another democratic, lawful and constitutional means by which the Scottish people can express their will. In my view, that can only be an election.
Ms Sturgeon said the next general election, which must be before January 2025, would be a de facto referendum on independence. Judges on the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Scottish government would need approval from Westminster for a second independence referendum. Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, the SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford asked:"What right does a man with no mandate have to deny Scottish democracy?""The people will decide, and Scotland will become independent," Dave Doogan wrote.
