First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says a referendum on Scottish independence 'is the will of the country” “In no way can a referendum be described as just a demand of me or of the SNP” BBCElections
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP leader, described the result as a "historic and extraordinary" achievement, and said her party had won the most constituency seats and secured the highest share of the constituency vote in the history of devolution.
Mr Johnson, the UK prime minister, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper earlier on Saturday that it would be "reckless and irresponsible" to hold a referendum right now. The SNP, which formed a minority government after the last election in 2016, had hoped that winning another majority in this election would further strengthen its calls for a second referendum on Scottish independence to be held.
And the constituency results have shown a narrow majority of voters backing pro-UK parties in the election, which was held on Thursday. Another thing which will not change is calls for a second independence referendum, with the SNP and Greens together forming a clear majority in favour of one.The SNP won two seats from Labour and one from the Conservatives in the constituency results that were declared on Friday.
