First Minister Nicola Sturgeon missed an opportunity to criticise the UK Government and say what Scotland could have done as an independent nation
HAVING watched FMQs on Thursday, it’s clear – as it has been for a while now – that as much as Nicola is a good leader of the SNP, she is not the one to lead any independence charge. It’s not that she couldn’t, but that she doesn’t push for it, even when given the clearest of clear chances.
Patrick Harvie asked her about the PM’s visit being unnecessary, he asked her about sticking too closely to the UK rules, he asked about where sticking to a four-nations approach held Scotland back etc. These are clear, wide open goals for anyone of the independence movement to highlight where Scotland could have done things differently – but could not due to being in the UK.
