The latest polls show a remarkable growth in support of Scotland independence.

If the last two surveys, published in the process of negotiating Brexit, showed a growing trend in favor of independence, the last survey carried out between 28 and 31 January, that is, a few days before the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union, certifies the increase of 5% in recent months for the independence option.

Those in favour of the independence are have reached 52% compared to the 48% against it. Commentators say that this raising is due to the growing support for independence shown by Labor voters in the territory. The referendum made in 2014 resulted in 55.3% against independence and 44.7% in favor.

The Brexit crisis and the growing trend in favor of the separation of the United Kingdom prompted the Prime Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, also leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) to ask the British Premier, Boris Johnson, to hold a new referendum. Johnson has rejected the idea of a new referendum. 

As recently published by The Times, the London government plans to make heavy investments in infrastructure in the region.

The paper said that the London government wants to "show the benefits of the Union, and the points in common". The SNP deputy leader, Keith Brown, emphasized that "the more Boris Jhonson tries to deny Scots the right to determine our future, the greater the support for independence."

At the moment the latest surveys on regional elections, to be held next May, give the independence parties 57% of consensus, which could result in a absolute majority in the Scottish Parliament, much higher than the current one. The claim of a second referendum remains therefore very much on the table.
