Scottish National Party

The independence-minded Scottish National Party and its leader Nicola Sturgeon have surged to a commanding position.
British Prime Minister Theresa May scrapped a scheduled vote on her Brexit plan that faced near-certain defeat, throwing the EU divorce deal into chaos.
May said she could rely in parliament on the support of her “friends” in Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party after her governing Conservatives failed to emerge as clear winners.
SurveyMonkey’s election-eve poll conducted for The Sun gives the Conservative Party a tenuous 4-percentage-point lead.
But it now requires approval from Westminster amid ongoing Brexit talks.
As Brexit looms, Nicola Sturgeon is asking the Scottish Parliament to back a second vote on independence from the United Kingdom.
The now president-elect has often boasted of his negotiating skills.
