Scottish independence parties won a majority of seats in the Scottish Parliament in the election, giving them the opportunity to raise the issue of a second referendum to leave the UK.
According to the results, which are not yet final, the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Scottish Green Party, which promised an independence referendum if they win, won 65 of the 87 seats counted so far in the 129-seat parliamentary election.
The Scottish referendum was opposed by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said he would reject any new vote because Scots supported staying in Britain in 2014.
