Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon has described the UK general election as a"watershed." The SNP won 48 of the 59 available seats in Scotland, improving on the party's 2017 result and strengthening the calls of those who want a second referendum on Scottish referendum. Speaking in Edinburgh, Sturgeon thanked the people of Scotland, telling supporters that the SNP"will never take you for granted."
"We will do what we can to protect the people of Scotland from what I fear will be a deeply damaging Conservative government," she said, adding that leaving the European Union would result in a"race to the bottom" in issues like environmental protection and workers' rights.
