Leaders from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland will gather in Cardiff on Monday to sign a joint declaration calling for the right to hold independence referendums. The meeting, scheduled for tomorrow, marks a coordinated effort to push for self-determination votes across the three regions.
The declaration will explicitly demand that the UK government allow referendums on self-determination, marking a significant escalation in regional calls for greater autonomy. The memorandum will also propose a pathway for Scotland and Wales to join the European Union as new members, while Northern Ireland would be included as part of the Republic of Ireland.
The move aims to increase pressure on British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who has previously indicated that a Scottish referendum could proceed if it gains sufficient public backing. The joint declaration underscores the regions’ determination to advance their independence agendas through coordinated action.
