The Scottish National Party (SNP) of the charismatic Alex Salmond has achieved a historic victory in regional elections in Scotland yesterday, winning an absolute majority in the Holyrood Parliament, which has won 65 seats out of 129. For the first time since the Scottish Assembly was established in 1999, a party has achieved most in this case the SNP, who comfortably beat its main rivals, Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
With nearly all votes counted, the Nationalists led by Alex Salmond had 65 seats (totaling 27), Labour 29 (lost 10), the Conservatives, 9 (lost 5), and the Liberals 4 (lost 13), while another seat went to other formations. With this victory, Salmond, who has described the result as "historic" has opened the door to hold a referendum on Scottish independence, something the party could not do in the last legislature, since 2007, it ruled in the minority though kept him as one of its main claims during the election campaign.
The separatists, who two months ago were 10 points behind Labour in the polls, have finished sweeping. The reluctance of the major British parties to call the referendum, combined with the setbacks suffered by the very idea of economic independence after the collapse of two major models in upholding the independence movement (Iceland and the Republic of Ireland), had fact that the campaign this time revolved around the query.
But Salmond has captured for his party the votes of voters disenchanted with the Liberal Democrats and their coalition with the conservatives in the United Kingdom Government. In part because the Scots are happy with the management of SNP in Scotland and partly because he believed that Labor more able to fight the budget cuts implemented in London.
The main victims in Scotland have been the democrats, who have lost some of its strongholds in Glasgow and in general the west of Scotland and the Liberal Democrats, which has suffered a defeat as punishment for his relationship with conservatives in the central government . British Prime Minister, the Tory David Cameron, has congratulated the SNP leader for its spectacular victory, as did his fellow Scottish Labour Party, Iain Gray, who has promised to work with the new government to "create jobs and combat unemployment.
" Salmond, First Minister of Scotland since his victory in 2007, reissued his five years, during which he undertook during the year to hold a plebiscite in which the Scots were asked if they want to govern themselves independently. In any case, Salmond has moderated lately his independence speech, in a manifesto released by his party a few weeks ago focused their policy proposals on possible solutions to the economic crisis.
The Scottish National Party has pledged to freeze council tax until 2016 and to reform the energy system in order that in a decade, all the energy consumed in Scotland from renewable sources. Some sections of his party, which is declared as a training "moderate centrist pro-independence left", but pressure could Salmond to interpret the successful election as a mandate to immediately call a referendum for independence.
Collapse of the Liberals The collapse of the Liberal Democrats extends to the whole country. According to British media, the liberals admitted privately that they would suffer a humiliating defeat in the referendum on electoral reform, which was held yesterday but will not start until this afternoon to be scrutinized.
