AN OVERWHELMING number of MSPs have backed a motion affirming that Scotland has a right to decide its constitutional future.
First Minister John Swinney asked MSPs in Holyrood on Tuesday to endorse a motion stating “that the Parliament agrees that Scotland is a nation that has a right to decide its own future”.
The motion passed with 84 votes in favour and 18 against, with MSPs from Scottish Labour, the Scottish Greens and the SNP all backing it.
Reform UK MSPs abstained from the vote after they stormed out of the Holyrood chamber with their leader Malcolm Offord claiming the proceedings are pointless and a “vanity project”.
