## Resource

Three first ministers from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are uniting for the first time to demand independence referendums, signaling a bold push for constitutional change as they argue Westminster is failing their nations. John Swinney, Rhun ap Iorwerth, and Michelle O’Neill will meet as party leaders to coordinate on economic and energy issues—but their real goal is to amplify their people’s voice and challenge the current system. Tensions flare as Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister questions O’Neill’s authority, underscoring the political friction. Yet, united in their conviction, they’re sending a clear message: their nations deserve to decide their own futures.
