Swinney to call independence vote on first day of new parliament even without majority
John Swinney will press for independence powers on the first day of the next Scottish parliament even without an overall SNP majority, relying on Scottish Greens support. The First Minister's stance marks a shift from his previous position that a majority was a precondition, despite it being in the party's 2026 manifesto. The UK government has repeatedly refused to approve a referendum, and the Supreme Court ruled in 2022 that only Westminster can legislate for one.
