Nationalist leaders sign pact for constitutional change
Nationalist leaders from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have signed a memorandum of understanding in Cardiff to pursue greater self-determination and cooperation.
The agreement was signed by Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill, Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth, and Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald. The document asserts that the era of Westminster is ending and calls on the United Kingdom government to prepare for significant constitutional changes.
The leaders pledged to work together on several key areas, including economic development, renewable energy, and strengthening relations with Europe. While acknowledging that each nation has different constitutional paths and will determine its own future in its own time, the group emphasized a shared goal of moving away from the influence of the UK central government.
