Swinney将即将到来的5月选举视为一个关键的时刻,建议苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的赞成独立的多数可以标志着向独立的历史性转变,称其为苏格兰最接近的独立。 Swinney framed the upcoming May election as a pivotal moment, suggesting a pro-independence majority in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland could mark a historic shift toward independence, calling it the closest Scotland has come to becoming independent.
