Sturgeon vows Scottish Independence vote when the time is right




The leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party Nicola Sturgeon has vowed that Scotland will hold another Independence referendum when the time is right.

Speaking after being re-elected in Glasgow, Sturgeon said: “I pledge today to get back to work immediately to continue to steer the country through the crisis of Covid, to continue to lead this country into recovery from Covid.”

“And then, when the time is right, to offer this country the choice of a better future.”

Sturgeon’s comments come as the SNP are increasingly looking likely to take the vast majority of seats at Holyrood, however it remains to be seen whether or not the party will gain an overall majority in the Scottish parliament.

The SNP’s victory is likely to give the British Prime Minister Borris Johnson further cause for concern as he previously stated that there would not be a second independence referendum in the immediate future.
