The SNP are to form Scotland’s first ever majority government after their victory in yesterday’s election. The SNP party won with 69 seats in the 129-seat parliament.
This is the first time since the devolved government was formed in 1999 that a party has won an outright majority.
Leader Alex Salmond is on record for his support of marriage equality and the party’s election manifesto said it recognises the “range of views” on the issue and will open a consultation.
A welcome result for many, “This is good news for the advancement of equality in Scotland” Said gay rights commentator and writer Jason Shaw. “There is now more possibility of an open discussion on gay marriage in Scotland, a better chance for equality”
