Scottish Leader Says no Justification To Block Referendum

The leader of the Scottish National Party, Nicola Sturgeon, said on Saturday that there were no grounds for Westminster to block a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom.

"There is simply no democratic justification whatsoever for Boris Johnson or indeed for anyone else seeking to block the right of the people of Scotland to choose our own future," Sturgeon said in a speech after the SNP dominated the vote for the devolved parliament but appeared likely to fall short of an outright majority.

  1. The ruling Scottish National Party and the Scottish Greens won a majority of seats in this week's parliamentary vote, results of the vote count showed on Saturday.

    With 87 Constituencies counted, the SNP controlled 63 seats in the 129-seat Scottish Parliament, just two mandates shy of an overall majority. The Greens, another pro-independence party, won five seats.

    First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the leader of the SNP, warned London over a second vote on independence, saying that any attempt to block it would be "picking a fight with the democratic wishes of the Scottish people."

    "The only people who can decide the future of Scotland are the Scottish people - and no Westminster politician can or should stand in the way of that," she told Sky news.
