ABERDEEN, Scotland - Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, returns to politics on Saturday with a vow to resist any new referendum on independence from the United Kingdom.
The Conservatives in pro-EU Scotland have seen their poll support slip over their handling of Brexit, coinciding with Davidson’s six-month maternity leave, while support for the pro-independence Scottish National Party has risen. Meanwhile, support for Scottish independence has risen to its highest point in the past four years, largely driven by voters who want to remain in the European Union, according to a YouGov poll published in the Times last week.
Scotland, England’s political partner for more than 300 years and part of the United Kingdom, rejected independence by 10 percentage points in a 2014 referendum. But differences over Brexit have strained relations with the government in London.
