Is the break-up of the UK inevitable? | Inside Story

A parliamentary election victory has emboldened Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon to push ahead with a referendum on ending its union with the UK.
Her Scottish National Party has won the elections for a fourth consecutive time.
And combined with other pro-independence candidates, Sturgeon has a majority in parliament.
This means she has the numbers to win a vote in Scotland on independence.
But will it succeed this time?
And what would it mean for the future of the union?
