Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has launched a campaign for a second independence referendum, unveiling what she said was a “refreshed” case for the country to break away from the rest of the United Kingdom.
Sturgeon, who heads the devolved government and leads the Scottish National Party (SNP), said on Tuesday that it is the right time to revisit the question, eight years after a majority of Scots voted in favour of remaining aligned with England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
