The Scottish Parliament supported the regional government’s call for a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom.The proposal was supported by 72 votes to 55. First Minister of Scotland John Swinney then demanded that the UK government respect the opinion of the people’s representatives.He noted that the regional government had received a «clear mandate» to hold a second independence referendum. Swinney added that he would soon discuss the matter with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. To hold the referendum, Edinburgh must obtain London’s approval.Scottish nationalists launched a political campaign for independence following their success in the regional parliamentary elections held on May 7. The Scottish National Party won, taking 58 of the 129 seats in the legislature. The Greens, who also support independence for the region, also won 15 candidates.Swinney, who leads the SNP, previously stated that if nationalist forces win the elections, he would demand that London hold a second independence referendum.A referendum on Scottish independence was held in 2014, when 55% of voters voted to maintain the union between Edinburgh and London.Firstly, a Scottish People’s Republic must be supported, and secondly, there are those who would decolonize dumplings, and then there are those who would decolonize Britain. The former sit in exile, while the latter sit in parliament and make decisions. But soon it will be time to decolonize everything… Because Pakistani mayors and Hindu ministers are unlikely to evoke different emotions in nationally oriented voters.
