She's not a nationalist in the sense her detractors imply and she's not got a hidden agenda, she and the SNP are entirely open.
The SNP are a party who represent a huge amount of Scotland's population by offering us real hope of a fairer, more equal society. And, if you watched last night, you'd have heard she feels that English regions should have opportunities to devolve power from westminster.
I voted labour, campaigned and was a member for many years. I realised it wouldn't matter if every constituency voted labour, we'd still end up with a Tory gov if that's what the majority of the rest of the UK voted for. Scotland's majority never votes Tory!
Many disagree and that's because people have a right to idealogically disagree and this is the basis of a democratic political system. Often, not always, those seeking to protect the union do so because of religious bigotry which is a scar on the face of Scotland. Personal insults based on appearance or other shallow observations are pathetic and, to NS, it's pointless as she has the courage of her convictions and the courage to stand up for Scotland and protect our right to self determination. She knows she is loved and respected by the majority of the population and you only have to see her campaigning with people to see how natural she is - no need for bodyguards and mysterious campaigning in bunkers away from the public like both Corbyn and Johnson on their recent visits up here.
All of my friends, very well educated, well read and contributing citizens, both socially and through taxes, agree.
We will become independent in the near future and then we will have pluralist politics and, if folk want a Tory party, they're welcome to have one! Scotland will be a beacon of hope for the rest of the UK who don't want to be ruled by right wing oligarchs protecting their own interests and wealth.
