LONDON (AP) – Scotland’s First Minister says her nationalist party will support a new referendum on Britain’s divorce from the European Union if Parliament gets a vote on it.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the Scottish National Party “wouldn’t stand in the way of a second referendum.” She told the BBC the party’s lawmakers in London “would undoubtedly vote for that proposition.”
With Britain’s Conservative government divided over future economic ties with the EU and Britain’s departure looming on March 29th, calls are growing for a new referendum on whether to accept a divorce deal or remain in the bloc.
Pro-EU demonstrators — and their dogs — marched on Sunday in London in a “wooferendum” protest demanding a new Brexit vote.
