UK rejects Scotland's request for second independence vote

The UK government has rejected Scotland's request for a second independence referendum.

Preparations for the second referendum have begun in Scotland after Great Britain's exit from the European Union, and the Prime Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, had written to the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Boris Johnson, to officially agree to hold a second referendum on the country's independence on October 19, 2023.

It is reported that Prime Minister Boris Johnson rejected Sturgeon's request to hold a second independence referendum, which would allow Scotland to separate from the United Kingdom and become an independent country.

"As our country faces unprecedented challenges at home and abroad, I cannot agree that now is the time to return to a question, which was clearly answered by the people of Scotland in 2014," Johnson said on Wednesday in a letter responding to Scottish leader on the government website.

Although a referendum on independence was held in Scotland in 2014, 55 percent of voters refused to leave Great Britain.
