Michelle O'Neill reacted to recent election results in Scotland and Wales. Plaid Cymru became the most popular party in Wales. The SNP emerged as the strongest party in Scotland. With Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland, pro-independence parties now lead in three of the four UK nations.

O'Neill stated that nationalist, pro-independence, and pro-self-determination First Ministers could lead for the first time in history. She congratulated the SNP and Plaid Cymru on their success. Voters seek better outcomes and a brighter future, she said.

People increasingly look past Westminster decisions that overlook communities in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, according to O'Neill. She anticipates working with John Swinney of the SNP and Rhun ap Iorwerth of Plaid Cymru to advance constitutional change.

Mary Lou McDonald confirmed she and O'Neill spoke with Swinney and ap Iorwerth after the results. She noted growing demand for independence and intent to collaborate.

John Swinney posted about his discussion with Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin leaders. He said the direction toward independence is evident and Westminster should recognize it.

Rhun ap Iorwerth posted about speaking with O'Neill, McDonald, and Swinney. He described the prospect of self-determination-supporting First Ministers in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland as a historic moment.
