Scotland’s Push for Independence Could Be Back in Play After Labour Flops

Scotland’s push for another independence referendum could be back in play after nationalists emerged to dominate the country’s devolved parliament following an election that saw a collapse in support for Britain’s two traditional parties of power.

The Scottish National Party won a fifth straight term running the semi-autonomous government in Edinburgh, though failed to get a majority in the legislature. But a surge in support for the Greens, who also want Scotland to cede from the rest of the UK, means together the two parties have more than half of the 129 seats.
