'In Scotland, for a long time, it has felt like there is no politics without Nicola Sturgeon.' | ✍️ Ross McCafferty
It’s why, no matter what your personal opinion on her politics or performance – and there are few people who don’t have one –To say that Sturgeon has been the dominant force in Scottish politics in recent years would be understating things – having become the longest serving first minister last year, she has been a continuous presence for over two decades.
Despite initial concerns that she would struggle to emerge from the shadow of Salmond, himself a larger-than-life personality, like ‘Eck’ before her, or ‘Boris’ in the UK, she became known by detractors and supporters alike by her first-name only.And from that first day in office until her announcement today, almost everything in Scotland, from politics to sport to culture, seems to be framed through the prism of ‘Nicola’.
It’s a fact that everyone from political geeks like me to those who barely take a passing interest in the goings on at Holyrood can attest to.
