Scotland should hold an independence referendum before the current Scottish parliamentary term ends in May 2021, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Wednesday, ONA reports citing Reuters.
“A choice between Brexit and a future for Scotland as an independent European nation should be offered in the lifetime of this parliament,” Sturgeon told Holyrood, Scotland’s devolved parliament.
She said she would prepare legislation before the end of 2019 for this to happen.
Scotland rejected independence by 10 percentage points in a 2014 referendum.
