This statistic illustrates results from an online survey conducted in Great Britain in 2016 on whether the prospect of Scottish independence will become more likely now that Britain is leaving the EU. While 43 percent of respondents did indeed think it will be more likely that Scotland leaves the UK, 40 percent believed the probability of Scottish independence is unchanged.
