Scottish parliament votes for new independence referendum

Scotland’s parliament votes to allow First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to make a formal request to the British government to hold a new referendum on independence, on the eve of the formal launch of Brexit.

The Edinburgh parliament votes by 69 votes in favor and 59 against in a rebuff to British Prime Minister Theresa May, who had argued that a 2014 referendum against independence had already settled the question.
