The "Nippy Sweetie" Nicola Sturgeon

Cammykaze

Rate her 1 through to 10

I'm going down the middle with door number 5 because I attempted to listen to a recent speech of hers and she was talking in riddles.

Not a SNP fan, too many missed policy promises, she tries to pass the buck when the shyte hits the fan, too many loonies in the party, I kinda wanted her to do well because she went to my old school and was brought up just up the road from me. To be honest none of the political leaders would get very high pass marks (although Starmer is just in the job) so I would give her a 4 at best.

I watched her on loose women to get a bit more perspective on her as a person.

She appears quite charming and is a tough cookie. I think I would like her as an individual however just fed up not having enough freedoms.

I didn't follow politics very much prior to Brexit.
I think she is quite credible particularly compared to Boris.
She is quite a good speaker.
There seems to be a dispute over the results on the things they control, particularly education and the Scottish NHS, the finger of blame is often pointed at Westminster.
Some of their policies are curious.
They were very much pro-remain, yet their best chance of winning an indy-ref, was clearly if we left the EU.
Also to use the stronger together argument in regard to Europe, and the complete opposite in the case of the UK, does not seem to make sense.
What currency are they going to use.
Could anyone really wear a border between Scotland and England, which would be the case if England stayed out, and Scotland rejoined the EU.
Plaid Cymru must be really jealous of the number of votes they get.
I would probably give her a seven for being quite genuine, open and honest.
Unlike Boris in particular.

She does come across well enough and credibly. I don't mind Boris, he blusters through.

I was for the indyref then shied away from it. Too many unanswered questions and the thought of a possible worsening job situation in Scotland was enough to put me off.

The Sots are canny...They didnt vote for independence last time as if it got through, who will pay the £8b deficit in their accounts we currently fund?

which presumably they use to give free stuff to peeps that we don't get in England.....

50+ Scottish MP's in our parliament, yet we can little or no say on Scottish affairs

Sturgeon or Johnson? I don't trust either BUT I distrust her less!

I think she comes across as genuinely believing in her cause, whereas Boris doesn't have a cause, and only looks out for Boris.
I don't really believe in her cause but that doesn't matter as I am not Scottish.
I believe that we are stronger together in respect of the UK, and the EU.

Not really up to speed as far as the Scottish political scene goes as unlike with the English and Welsh policy makers I have no vested interest.

However that said, I do find that she appears to actually care more for the Scottish people than Alex Salmond ever seemed to. Also I detect a genuine passion whenever I hear her.

Now this may just mean that she has grasped the principle of faking sincerity and the rest is easy or she could be what she appears ( although sometimes I do see Jimmy Krankie ).

Either way I find that my Scottish friends have time for her and as they are not rabid, braveheart quoting people, she cant be all that bad.

Yes well when he takes us into a war with blatant lies and murderous cover ups then I'll rank him in the Tony Blair school of lying.

Mark, I have to take issue with some of this...Alex Salmond did care a lot for Scottish people...they just had to be female..

Always got the impression that Sturgeon wore the trousers in that particular political relationship. She's a battler.

A possible double agent for Conservative, Tory man in a Labour suit.

Look at Labour now.
