Johnson reacted to the possibility of a referendum in Scotland

Referendums in Britain “are not particularly fun events,” recalled the head of the British government.

Scotland’s residents are not yet ready for a new referendum on independence from Great Britain. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said this, the BBC reports on Sunday, January 3.

“They (in Scotland – ed.) In the national atmosphere do not have a unifying force, this should be only once in a whole generation,” Johnson said.

He noted that a referendum was held in 1975 on the continuation of the UK’s membership in the European Economic Community (EEC) and in 2016 a referendum on Brexit. According to Johnson, in this case we are talking about “the right time frame.”

Johnson also added that, in his own experience, referenda in the UK “are not particularly fun events.”

Recall that in September 2014 a referendum was held on the independence of Scotland. Then 55% of Scots voted for Scotland to remain part of the UK.

But recently, Scotland’s Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the region needs independence after the Brexit deal between London and Brussels, which was voted against by the majority of Scots.

We will remember, recent opinion polls showed that the majority of people in Scotland now support independence.
