SNP majority only way to secure second referendum - Swinney

The article discusses John Swinney's statement on the necessity of an SNP majority to secure a second Scottish independence referendum. Swinney, the Deputy First Minister of Scotland, said that an SNP majority in the next Scottish Parliament election is the only way to ensure a second referendum on Scottish independence. He made this statement in an interview with BBC Scotland News, ahead of a meeting between Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and US President Donald Trump. Swinney emphasized that the SNP's performance in the upcoming election will be crucial in determining the path forward for a second referendum.
