Nicola Sturgeon - The Final Chapter
The Death of the SNP
The pipedream, a little ironic, of the Scottish Nationalist Party was tht there would be second oil boom as large as the one in the 1970's to fuel Sottish Independence.
The problem with the theory is the oil was closer to Norway than Scotland, and with advances in technology the chasm between the field and Norway was no longer a drawback.
The legacy of Nicola Sturgeon will be as the lady (?) who destroyed the party she represented by her stealing the funds, and costing her country over £500,000.
While she played hostess to conferences her country had a rising crime rate, and an education standard lower than some third-world countries. She cannot claim she didn't know what her huband, chancellor, was doing as she had to authorise any payments.
The promised ferry between the outer islands, and the mainland is so far behind schedule it would be cheaper to start again , than continue with the programme as set up.
At the recent election, the SNP began with 45 seats in Scotland, and ended with 7; such is how little faith the people had in their party after over a decade of misrule, and high taxes.
