Good news for Scotland (and the rest of us)..

If it is GRA, then it seems a very odd hill to die on. I almost feel there must be some other dirt going around. What was the outcome with those leaked emails? Maybe something in there.

I'd be surprised if its the emails, nothing so far has leaked although the guy who went to jail for naming the accusers of Salmond seems to have suggested he has them
 
Interesting, wonder what the trigger was! She seemed like a reasonably effective leader, but chose some odd hills to die on, and maybe enough negativity around issues under SNP control within her leadership built up that she was more of a liability than an asset?

Not really up on other SNP politicians, but have to say if I were choosing I'd go for Ian Blackford - seems to bring up good points in parliament now and then and generally holds his own in media interviews etc.

Would be nice to think this might be the beginning of the end for the SNP though, and a return to more constructive politics with recent polls showing much lower support for independence. Doubt that is really the case though, and suspect it could probably come back with a vengeance depending on which direction UK politics goes, and how effective their new leader is.

Blackford might be a good shout but he would need to get a seat in the Scottish Parliament really to lead, I expect we'll see an MSP replace her as leader and First Minister.

If anything I think she's done this to give a successor time to lead into the next elections (Holyrood 2025 being the big one).
 
Nicola Sturgeon was a hard pill to swallow sometimes but she almost always was for what was good for Scotland. I'm not her biggest fan but she is better than the alternatives available so this is quite a loss tbh. And the whole independence dropping off a cliff is hilarious its never been stronger but then the union lovers would say that.
