I just saw that. I have mixed feelings. I don't think she did a lot of good for many people and was a thorn in the side of much progress. But I have to say. I think she was passionate, she was a strong and a brilliant politician. And we would be better with more politicians who had the courage of their convictions like she did.

We need politicians, we need good ones, and we need to have robust political debate and I think she bought a lot of that to her politics.

Not sure what to make of this to be honest.

If she is replaced by an equally talented Leader then nothing much changes in as much as the SNP will remain true to their identity and popular because of it.

If the SNP lose their way a little then Labour become the only credible alternative to the Conservatives in Westminster.

So whatever happens it will either continue to be good for the SNP or it will be a good thing for Labour.

Agree it is quite sudden. Only 2 weeks ago, she was advising Laura Kuenssberg that she was 'nowhere near' stepping down.

I'm not sure it changes anything re Scottish Independence. There's insufficient appetite for it amongst Scots right now.

This is what I struggle with, she wanted to split an island, and she was 100% committed to that.

Now she is tenacious and passionate, I’m not buying into this, she was aggressive and bloody minded.

I remember many meetings with corporate bullies in the early 2000’s, when they went off on one, there staff would rally round and tell us how passionate they were about the issue in hand, reminds of her 100%, her way or no way

It would be interesting to see if the SNP have the integrity to call an election now that there needs to be a ne First Minister. They did after all demand a General election on the resignations of both Johnson and Truss. (not sure if I've spelled Johnson correctly and cant be bothered Googling it. I appologise if I've gotten it wrong Boris. I know he reads these).

Very hypocritical of them not to I think.

I think she has been an exceptional leader, has she got things wrong? Yes. But show me a politician who hasn't. She certainly stepped up to the plate during covid. As for independence, nothing changes, the grassroots movement are more than snp, the snp are just the political vehicle to get a referendum. I challenge anyone to hand on heart suggest that anything she has done over the last few years comes anywhere close to the lunacy that has been going on in Westminster. May/Johnson/Truss?

Just seeking a bit of context to show that the other parts of the UK are facing exactly the same issues. Its way to easy to type the above and suggest Scotland is failing, which incidentally it could do better, but England is suffering exactly the same or worse in some cases.

Other parts of the uk atent governed by a devolved scottish govt. The Scottish Government runs the country in relation to matters that are devolved from Westminster. This includes: the economy, education, health, justice, rural affairs, housing, environment, equal opportunities, consumer advocacy and advice, transport and taxation.

The fact the tory govt have driven the rest of the uk into the rocks does not excuse the poor performance of the devolved govt. It just shows there have been two bloody awful govts.

Everything on the list I provided is under FULL Snp Control.

The problems raised are not due to lack of money they are entirely due to bad policies and a Government obsessed with independence.

Always thought there was something fishy about her from the start, and not just about her name either.

There were stories about her husbands donations around the time that she resigned.

I suspected at the time she announced she was stepping down that there would be more to it and that likely criminal investigations were coming

Yes the investigation is still to come due to her moving elderly out of hospitals and into Nursing homes without being tested, this was the main source of infection and sadly many lost their life's.

Hopefully Jail if found guilty

they had the trust of some people in Scotland, many others saw through them from Day one

but they were still in the position of power over Scotland, so anyone of them found to be corrupt should be jailed.
