On September 14, 2026, leaders from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland gathered in Cardiff to affirm their right to self-determination in a historic joint statement. This meeting marked a significant collaboration among the Scottish National Party (SNP), Plaid Cymru, and Sinn Féin, as they collectively expressed their aspirations for independence from the United Kingdom.
The leaders emphasized that no Westminster government should impede the democratic right of their nations to decide their own futures. "Our nations have the right to self-determination," they declared in the memorandum, highlighting the growing momentum for constitutional change across the UK.
For the first time in history, all three regions are represented by nationalist first ministers committed to independence. The agreement not only calls for enhanced cooperation among their parties but also signals a potential shift in the political landscape, with the leaders asserting that the future of their nations lies within the European Union.
