History[edit | edit source]

2014 Referendum[edit | edit source]

In 2014 the SNP's lobbying paid off and a referendum was granted for Scottish independence however it failed to return the desired result. The SNP was not deterred and continued to fight for another Scottish independence referendum which the Conservative government have refused to grant with the popularity of independence rising.[1]
