Scotland's First Minister is embroiled in a political crisis following the cancellation of a key speech amidst the fallout from a decision to terminate a three-year power-sharing agreement. The move has left the government vulnerable and sparked calls for a vote of no confidence.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) leader was set to address Scotland's independence from the U.K., but the speech was called off in the midst of controversy surrounding the dissolution of the power-sharing deal with the Greens. Without the Green Party's support, the SNP now faces challenges in passing legislation and its budget in the Scottish Parliament.
