In Scotland, indyref2 has been a key campaign issue. If the SNP or pro-independence parties win a majority, then they will request the power to hold another vote. All eyes will be on how the PM responds to a request https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź‘€" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/elections-2021-scottish-independence">https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer...
If the PM says no, the SNP is expected to introduce the indyref bill they published before the election anyway - and it& #39;s likely the courts will decide whether they can hold the vote. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/scotland-manifesto-tracker">https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/scotland-...
Even if the SNP get their referendum there are tough questions to answer over Scotland& #39;s fiscal positions and the implications of independence for the Anglo-Scottish border (check out IfG& #39;s latest reports). Still all to play for https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/scottish-independence-eu-border

Now to Wales where polls predict Labour will remain the biggest party in the Senedd Cymru. But will they get enough seats to govern alone or need a coalition partner? Plaid Cymru looks like the most likely candidate. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/wales-manifesto-tracker">https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/wales-man...
Plaid& #39;s manifesto contained a bold commitment to hold a referendum on Welsh independence - so constitutional reform would be on the agenda in any negotiations. On the other end of the spectrum, it& #39;s possible Abolish the Assembly party might also pick up some seats.
Because of covid, we won& #39;t get the results overnight - they& #39;ll trickle out over the next few days and the weekend.
