Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland issued a joint declaration in which they pressure the London government to grant them the right to hold referendums on their independence, as well as to recover powers that are currently centralized in the British government.
The three territories intend to strengthen their political and administrative autonomy through this joint initiative, which comes in a context of growing demands for powers by the regions that make up the United Kingdom.
Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester and a relevant figure in British politics, has already ruled out the possibility of holding a new referendum on Scotland's independence, indicating that this issue is not among the immediate priorities for that region.
This joint pressure represents a significant challenge for the central government in London, which will have to respond to the demands for greater autonomy from three of the four nations that form the United Kingdom.
