Johnson: Scotland Must Wait a Generation for New Vote

Agence France-Presse

   LONDON - Another Scottish independence referendum should not take place
   for a generation, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Sunday, as
   Scotland's leader renewed calls for a fresh vote in the wake of Brexit.

   "Referendums in my experience, direct experience, in this country are
   not particularly jolly events," the prime minister told BBC's "Andrew
   Marr Show."

   "They don't have a notably unifying force in the national mood, they
   should be only once in a generation."

   Scotland voted to remain part of the United Kingdom in 2014.
