Churov: The results of the referendum in Scotland were falsified

The results of the referendum on the independence of Scotland were falsified. According to TASS, this was stated by the head of the Central Election Commission of Russia Vladimir Churov. In his opinion, this is indicated by the results of the parliamentary elections in the UK, where the Scottish party strengthened its position.

"Our version of the complete falsification of the referendum in Scotland is confirmed," Churov said, indicating that according to the results of the past elections, the Scottish party, which advocated independence, received much more votes than in a referendum.

Churov drew attention to the fact that between the referendum and the current elections, it was not such a long time for a radical change in moods. According to him, usually on such global issues, the situation does not change in six months.

Such changes could be due to the influence of social factors or major political upheavals, but nothing of the kind happened in the UK during this time, he pointed out.

Churov summed up that in this regard, he did not see the grounds for such "voters 'votes' variability."

In his opinion, the reason is different - people who really live in Scotland and are citizens of Great Britain voted in the elections. And at the referendum, all EU citizens voted, including several tens of thousands of Poles working in Scotland.

According to the results of the parliamentary elections in the UK, the conservative party, headed by Prime Minister David Cameron, won the victory. She received 331 out of 650 seats. The conservatives are Labor - 232 mandates, then Scottish nationalists - 56. For eight seats, the liberal democrats and the democratic unionist party advocated the preservation of the northern counties of Ireland as part of the kingdom. The rest of the parties received no more than five mandates each.

The positions of Scottish nationalists were strengthened - they received 56 out of 59 seats in Scotland. The leader of the Scottish National Party, Nikola Stajen, made the possibility of holding a new referendum in the future, if, following a referendum that Cameron intends to hold, Britain will leave the EU.

Voting on the independence of Scotland took place on September 18, 2014. About 55 percent of the referendum participants spoke in favor of preserving the country as part of the United Kingdom. Cameron promised to expand the powers of Scotland.
