First registration, December 13, 2019

Edinburgh – The general election in the United Kingdom produced two winners. First, of course, is Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has won an absolute majority with conservative Tories. And then there is also the pro-European Scottish National Party (SNP), which will enter the lower house as the third strongest force.

With the success behind them, the SNP is now aiming for a new independence referendum, as party leader Nicola Sturgeon confirmed in a BBC interview on Friday. The Scottish Prime Minister said, “First, Boris Johnson has no right to drive Scotland out of the European Union and, second, to prevent the people of Scotland from determining their future.”

SPD European politician Katrina Barley expressed concern about the trend of such segregation. “I am very concerned that the United Kingdom may break up,” said the Vice President of the European Parliament on RBB’s Infadio. Apart from Scotland, aspirations for independence were also increasing in Northern Ireland and Wales.

UK election: SNP won 48 out of 59 seats in Scotland

The SNP received 45 per cent of the vote in Scotland, 8.1 per cent more than the 2017 election. It won 48 out of 59 mandates, more than 13 two years ago. The fact that a party wins so many seats with 45 percent of the vote is due to the British electoral system. In each constituency, the candidate with the most votes wins. All other votes are no longer counted. The big losers in Scotland were the Labor Party, which managed to defend only one of its seven seats, and the Conservatives, who lost more than half of their six seats.

At the instance of the SNP, in 2014 there was a referendum on Scotland’s independence from the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland). At that time, however, most Scots rejected a split. Prime Minister Johnson is confused about a second referendum. It is not yet clear whether a referendum will have to be approved from London.

UK election: Northern Ireland will empower nationalists

In the British province of Northern Ireland, more nationalists than federalists have been elected to parliament in London for the first time. Nationalist EU states such as Sin Phin and SDLP parties are in favor of integration with Ireland, and unionists such as DuP are in favor of remaining in Britain. The DUP lost the vote, but remained the strongest party. The coalition party in Northern Ireland, which seeks to bridge the gap between predominantly Catholic nationalists and Protestant Unionists, made strong gains.

There is also Plad Simru, a nationalist party in Wales. Unlike the SNP in Scotland, however, it lags far behind in terms of voter support. As before, it only holds ten percent of the Welsh seats. (dpa / cs)
