Manage episode 277898353 series 1940566
The United Kingdom is fraying. After decades of neoliberal economic policy, devolution, the end of empire, and recent events such as Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, the people of Scotland have questioned their place in the United Kingdom. Support for a second independence referendum is at a record high, and those who favor independence now compose nearly 60% of the Scottish electorate, according to recent polling. As Scotland stands at a crossroads, its relationship with Britain is being re-examined as the spectre of Scottish independence poses unique challenges for Europe and the world.
