Probability for a new referendum in Scotland increases

Nicola Sturgeon will seek support from the Scottish Parliament in her efforts to maintain relations with the EU and access to the single market after Brexit. The Scottish Prime Minister will gather on Tuesday the parliament (today) for debate and enhancing negotiations in this situation of uncertainty.

According to Angus Robertson, leader of the SNP's Westminster group, it is quite unacceptable Scotland to be forced to leave the EU after they voted 62 percent to stay and 38 for leave. He added: "We voted to stay because we are a European nation and it really matters to us that we live in an open hand, not a limited smallest Britain. We are a European country and we will remain so. If this means We need to hold a referendum on independence to protect the site of Scotland in the European Union, so be it. "

Nicola Sturgeon led by votes of Scots to remain assures EU citizens that they are welcome and valued in Scotland and gives the government a mandate to hold talks with representatives of the UK and EU and to explore options to secure the connection of Scotland EU and place of Scotland within the single market. "

Last expectation that the UK parliament will accept the vote of the citizens and trigger mechanism for leaving the union. This in turn creates prerequisites to believe that the probability for another referendum in Scotland separating from the UK is growing.
