Nicola Sturgeon

She is quite capable although the SNP government in Scotland don't have a lot to shout about this term. Marginally better than the odious Salmon who is a nasty piece of work. The thing everyone needs to understand about the SNP is that they have and have always had - yes there is quite a long history, a single, simple objective. To create an independent Scotland, so those that insult them because they are Nationalistic are a bit daft. I ran in to her a few years ago and she actually looks better in real life than she does in front of the camera. I found her to be pretty sensible and human in the brief chat we had.

Over the last while, they have certainly gained a great deal more support by playing the 'look what westminster have done' and 'look how Scotland is disrespected'. They havent had to be particularly smart or sophisticated about it as a great deal of stuff has landed in their lap!

She is undoubtedly the best the SNP have got. None of her top team have anything like her political capability.
 
Just like Brexit, Scottish independence is a fucking stupid idea that will make millions of people worse off.
 
Sorry, but she's by far the most effective current UK politician, although tbf there is little competition these days.

And to those who deride the ability of the Scots to go it alone, whilst it may be difficult at first, I don't see why they shouldn't make a go if it, given the likes of Slovenia, Croatia, Denmark etc etc have made successful nation states within a wider economic block?
