Scotland cannot hold second independence vote says Supreme Court

Scotland will not be able to hold an independence referendum without the consent of the UK government.

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to call for a second vote to leave the United Kingdom, as this power is reserved for Westminster.

In 2014, just over 55 percent of people in Scotland voted to remain part of the UK - but campaigners say since then, a host of factors, including Brexit, had pushed national opinion towards independence.

Scottish Independence Court Ruling

The Scottish Government does not have the legal right to hold an independence referendum, without the consent of the UK government.

That was the ruling of the Supreme Court, in response to plans by the Scottish National Party, to hold a second independence referendum.

The Scottish government had argued a referendum would fall within its devolved powers…

…but the UK government argued it was a so-called 'reserved matter', which includes areas such as defence, foreign relations and issues relating to the constitution.

The ruling was announced today by Lord Reed, the President of the Supreme Court.
