Original: In August 2009 as part of its third legislative term in the Scottish Parliament, the Government proposes to debate the Scottish referendum bill 2010, which would set out a planned referendum for 30th November 2010 on the issue of Scottish independence. It was not however expected to pass, due to opposition from all the major opposition parties in the Parliament.
Simplified: The party tried to give Scotland a referendum on independence in 2010, but the other major parties in the Scottish Parliament stopped them.
