Michael Gove, former UK cabinet minister, agrees with Scottish First Minister John Swinney that a second independence referendum could happen if there's overwhelming public support. While Gove doesn't currently believe another vote is necessary, he acknowledges a shift in UK government policy might be required if SNP popularity and pro-independence sentiment significantly increase. He emphasizes the importance of demonstrating the UK union is functioning effectively and highlights the need for governments to focus on key issues like the economy, health, and transport.
