Scotland’s Leader Calls for Independence Vote, Challenging Judges to Stop It
[b]LONDON — Scotland’s first minister on Tuesday announced plans for a referendum next year on Scottish independence, reopening the battle over her country’s future and challenging Britain’s top judges to prevent her from holding it.
The announcement by the first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, sets the stage for a high-stakes legal and political battle over the fate of Scotland, and presents another problem for Britain’s embattled prime minister, Boris Johnson, as he seeks to retain his grip on power after a series of scandals and political reversals.
“Now is the time — at this critical moment in history — to debate and decide the future of our country,” Ms. Sturgeon told members of the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday. She proposed Oct. 19, 2023, as the date for the second vote on independence in a decade — something Mr. Johnson has ruled out.[/b]
