Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has kicked off a new campaign for independence as she claimed her government has an “indisputable democratic mandate” for another referendum.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) leader released a document on Tuesday, laying out the economic and social differences between Scotland and other small countries, attributing the deficit to not having the full powers of an independent country.
