House of Commons

The question of Scottish independence remains one of the most contentious political issues in the United Kingdom. Since the 2014 referendum, where 55% voted to remain in the UK, the political landscape has shifted significantly. Brexit, which Scotland opposed by a large margin, has reignited calls for a second vote, with the Scottish Government arguing that the circumstances have fundamentally changed. However, the UK Government maintains that the 2014 result should be respected and that another referendum would require Westminster’s approval.

This committee will debate the legal, political, and economic implications of a second referendum. Key issues include Scotland’s right to self-determination, the role of the UK Parliament in granting another vote, and the potential impact on Scotland’s economy, EU relations, and national identity. Delegates must navigate the delicate balance between democratic legitimacy and constitutional stability while considering the broader consequences for the UK’s unity.

Will Scotland be granted another referendum, or will the UK Government stand firm in its opposition? The future of the Union is in your hands.
