Scottish voters could be key to Britain’s EU poll outcome
It’s a seeming contradiction that makes sense if you are in Scotland, where nationalists’ hopes for independence remain undimmed by the referendum they lost less than two years ago, when Scots voted 55% to 45% in favour of remaining part of the UK.
The pro-independence Scottish National Party has enjoyed a surge in support since that failed plebiscite and enjoyed further success in this week’s UK regional elections. That may pave the way for some tactical voting in June.
