Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon cautioned whoever succeeds David Cameron as Prime Minister that it would be “unacceptable” for Westminster to veto a second referendum on independence in the wake of the UK’s Brexit vote. According to Ms Sturgeon, Scotland “overwhelmingly” voted to stay a part of the European Union and it is now her utmost priority to have talks with Brussels with the aim of keeping the country in the EU.
Sturgeon clarified that she did not have any talks yet but stressed that she would be doing so “in the next few days.” She highlighted that even though the UK voted to leave EU by 52% to 48% it will have “deeply damaging and painful consequences” for the country. She stressed that despite UK opted out as a whole last Thursday, Scotland voted by 62% to 38% in favour of staying in and she made it clear that a second independence referendum is now “very much on the table”.
Addressing the audience at a TV channel later, Sturgeon stated that “if the Scottish Parliament votes to have another referendum in circumstances where that is the only thing we think we can do to protect our interests then frankly it is inconceivable that a Westminster government, who have thrust this situation upon us, would seek to block that, and I would seriously caution any prime minister, present or future, against doing that.” She stressed that “it would be completely democratically unacceptable.”
