LONDON - Another Scottish independence referendum would damage Scotland and the United Kingdom even if Scots have overwhelmingly voted for the nationalists that favor such a poll, British minister Michael Gove said on Thursday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives are set for a landslide majority in Britain’s election, an exit poll showed, but Scots are forecast to have overwhelmingly voted for the Scottish National Party .
“I don’t believe that another independence referendum is inevitable, quite the opposite,” Gove told ITV. “I don’t believe that a second independence referendum would be right for Scotland or right for the United Kingdom.”
