Scotland tries again: the independence first minister Nicola Sturgeon has in fact announced a new referendum for the split from the United Kingdom .

The process will begin with the presentation of a local bill to the Edinburgh Parliament for the calling of an "advisory" vote to be held in the fall of 2023 .

The consultation should re-propose the same "separatist" question that was rejected in 2014 .

The announcement of the Scottish government's number one came just as Queen Elizabeth is in Edinburgh.

In short, this is a real - new - challenge in London, also because the referendum should on paper have the approval of the central government of the Kingdom, but the executive led by Boris Johnson has already repeatedly evoked his vet or a new consultation .
