SNP election success would entitle them to new independence vote, poll finds

A majority of votersin Scotland believe the SNP would have the right to hold a second independence referendum if the party wins more than half of the Scottish seats in the General Election, a poll has found.

Theresa May has been clear that "now is not the time" for another ballot on Scotland’s place in the UK despite First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s demands for the issue to be put to the people again in the wake of Brexit.
