China News Service, November 27th. According to a report from Reuters on the 27th, Nicola Sturgeon, the chief minister of the Scottish Government of the United Kingdom and leader of the Scottish National Party, said that he hopes to hold a second independence referendum as early as 2021.
Data map: In September 2014 local time, Scottish people expressed their support for the independence referendum in their own way in the streets and lanes.
Sturgeon, who supports independence, said she expects the independence referendum to be held in 2021, the "early stage" of the new Scottish Parliament.
Many polls show that Scots support independence.
The Scottish National Party is expected to perform well in the Scottish parliamentary elections to be held in May 2021.
The report pointed out that in 2014, Scotland held a referendum on whether to leave the UK, and finally chose to stay in the UK with 55% opposition and 45% support.
But now, Brexit and the British government's response to the new crown epidemic have strengthened Scots' support for independence.
British Prime Minister Johnson once said that the 2014 independence referendum was decisive and should be respected.
The British government pointed out that there should be no more independence referendum in the near future.
