I’m not interested in politics or BJ, but really…is there anyone that could do any better?

She's no better than Boris, don't start thinking we are better off up here. We aren't. Realistically all the parties are shit. We need a restart on politics, no allowing 'mates' to get deals, no abusers, no one with a criminal record, no one power hungry, people with intelligence etc. Basically eliminates everyone currently in politics..

I agree with your premise that our political system is pretty rotten.
But I don't think it helps to say "she's no better than Boris".
Boris is by far the worst prime minister ever. His corruption is blatant and has made us as much of a joke as Trumpian America.
I accept there are very few "good" politicians but there are definitely shades of badness3 and Boris is at one end of that spectrum and Nicola is nowhere near as far along it...

Larry the cat would do a better job tbh or Boris’ toddler.

Yeah agree
This "they are all as bad as each other" is deeply damaging to democracy as it makes voting seem pointless, or if you are going to vote you do it based on personality/emotion.

Equating "Keir's beer" or the Alec Salmond debacle to party gate or Boris's long history of infidelity and cronyism is ridiculous.

The truth is noone is as bad as Boris as he's a liar with no morals.

I'm English but if I could vote SNP I would. I think Sturgeon talks a lot of sense and a lot of the dislike for her is based on misogyny.

I also thought the same about Teresa May when she was PM so that's not necessarily a political perspective.

Sturgeon is great 👍
