Scotland's first minister sets out latest plan for independence referendum
First Minister John Swinney has called on the UK government to agree to another referendum on Scottish independence if a majority of SNP MSPs are elected at the 2026 Holyrood election.
Mr Swinney hopes to repeat the party's success in 2011, which led to the 2014 independence referendum. That ballot, in which a 55-45% majority of Scots voted to remain part of the UK, was described at the time as being a "once in a generation" opportunity.
Responding to opponents who say it is too soon for another ballot, the first minister said: "By 2030, there will be one million young Scots eligible to vote who were too young in 2014. "Some of them will not even have been born then.
That seems like a generation to me." Scotland is facing a "pivotal moment.
