Scottish Independence

Support For Scottish Independence Is Creeping Up

New polls have found that support for Scottish independence has risen in the wake of Theresa May's Brexit speech, where she announced that the UK is heading for a hard Brexit. According to a BMG poll, support for independence reached 49 percent by the end of January, up from 45 percent in early October of last year. The most recent polls have also revealed that a majority of people in Scotland do not want another independence referendum before the conclusion of Brexit negotations.
