According to surveys, support for a break from the United Kingdom is waning again. The Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced after the election that he would press ahead with the independence question.

In 2014, Scotland narrowly voted to remain in the Kingdom. However, the topic picked up speed again after the 2016 Brexit referendum.
