SNP mulling over 2nd attempt on independence
Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says her pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) will propose a new referendum on independence from the United Kingdom.
Sturgeon said the party would set out a timescale for the referendum in its manifesto ahead of the 2016 regional elections.
She said the manifesto will also include more details on the circumstances under which another vote might be "appropriate."
“Our manifesto will set out what we consider are the circumstances and the timescale on which a second referendum might be appropriate, but we can only propos,” said Scotland’s First Minister.
The revelation comes after Scots voted by 55% to 45% to reject leaving the union on 18 September last year.
Now Joshua Brown, a campaigner with the Socialist Workers Party, says the SNP now has many more supporters than before and should create ‘winnable’ conditions if they seek to triumph in another independence referendum.
This is while British Prime Minister David Cameron has already ruled out another independence referendum despite SNP’s stunning gains in the May general elections.
A recent opinion poll shows the majority of Scots would back independence in case of a new referendum.
