LONDON (AP) — The Scottish National Party has won its fourth straight parliamentary election on Saturday and insisted it will push on with another referendum on Scotland’s independence from the U.K. even though it just failed to secure a majority. With counting over, the SNP won 64 of the 129 seats in the Edinburgh-based Scottish Parliament, extending its dominance of Scottish politics since 2007. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has refused to countenance another vote, setting up the possibility of renewed tensions between his government and Sturgeon’s devolved administration. Elsewhere, the Labour Party recorded some successes, winning again in Wales and Sadiq Khan reelected as the mayor of London.
