Scottish second referendum most likely- Nicola Sturgoen

Again, Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has made it clear that should the Tory government forcefully take Scotland out of the European Union against the wishes of the majority of the Scottish people, there will be another referendum to leave the United Kingdom to enable Scotland retain membership of the EU.

"This government was elected on a specific manifesto pledge that the Scottish Parliament should be able to consider an independence referendum if there was a material change in circumstances, such as Scotland being taken out of the European Union against its will," she said.

"The country now faces exactly that prospect, including the likelihood of it being a hard Brexit with all the additional damage that will do to Scotland's economy and jobs, which is why this bill is being published for consultation." 

According to the result of the Brexit in June, over 62% of people of the Scotland voted to remain in the EU, thus Sturgeon has stated how tireless effort would be made to protect Scotland’s interest, as it garners more strength in the any time soon

Sturgeon is billed to meet Prime Minister Theresa May on 24 October for their first discussion on the subject.

On the contrary, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has also declared that her party would fight any move for a second referendum, saying that Ms Sturgeon was using the vote to leave the EU for her own ends.

She said: "The First Minister says she respects the result from 2014, but there will be more than two million Scots who now know otherwise.

"Instead of using Brexit to further her own political ambitions, Nicola Sturgeon should be working closely with the UK Government to address the risks and explore the opportunities this decision creates for industries and sectors across Scotland."

Similarly, Secretary of State for Scotland David Mundell said: "The issue of whether Scotland should leave the UK was settled conclusively in 2014.

"The people of Scotland said no decisively then and there is no public attitude for a second referendum now. 

"People in Scotland need a Scottish government that is focused on the day job - not obsessed with pushing their ideological agenda at any cost. 

"The UK is the vital union for Scotland and my clear priority is to get the best possible deal as we leave the EU."
