Cameron Rules Out Another Independence Referendum in Scotland

David Cameron said that Scotland will not have another vote on the independence from the United Kingdom.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Scotland will not have another vote on the independence from the United Kingdom, according to British Prime Minister David Cameron.

In the general election held on May 7, the pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) took a historical lead over the Labour in Scotland, winning 56 out of 59 Scottish seats available at Westminster.

"There isn't going to be another referendum,” Cameron said Sunday in an interview with Channel 4 News.

He stressed that Scotland already had a vote and decided to stay in the United Kingdom.

Cameron added that now his government faces the need to bring the country together.

"We are going to do that by delivering the devolution settlement in Wales, delivering the devolution settlement in Scotland, keeping all the pledges that were made," Cameron pointed out.

The SNP was behind the September 2014 referendum on Scotland's membership in the United Kingdom, when 55 percent of Scottish voters rejected separation from the union.

The vote has failed, but the SNP has seen a fourfold increase in membership over the past two years – to 110,000 as of this spring.
