Scottish Independence refers to the movement advocating for Scotland to become a separate nation, independent from the United Kingdom. This movement has gained momentum over the years, particularly since the 2014 referendum, where 55% voted to remain part of the UK. Supporters argue that independence would allow Scotland to make its own decisions on issues like education, health, and taxation. The debate over independence often centers on economic factors, national identity, and political representation. Proponents believe that Scotland could better address its unique needs, while opponents worry about the potential economic risks and loss of influence within the UK.
