Question

Read the following passage: The majority of people in Scotland are in favour breaking away from the rest of the UK and becoming

independent, according to a poll taken just before the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union, which united

Scotland and England.

A pair of Acts of Parliament, passed in 1706 and 1707 that came into effect on May 1, 1707, created Great

Britain. The parliaments of both countries were dissolved, and replaced by a new Parliament of Great Britain

in Westminster, London.

The poll showed support for independence for Scotland is running at 51%. This is the first time since 1998

that support for separation has passed 50%, and the first time since devolution gave power to the country in

1999. Six months before elections for the Scottish Parliament, these poll results come as good news to the

Scottish Nationalist Party, who are hoping to make progress against Labour and further the cause of an

independent Scotland.

Many people have become disillusioned with devolution, and believe that the Scottish Parliament has failed

to deliver what they had hoped it would; only a tenth have no opinion. In fact, only 39% of those polled want

to keep things as they are.
