intention to resign. As the first female leader of the Scottish government and the SNP’s longest serving leader, Sturgeon’s 12-year tenure as leader of the party and as Scottish first minister had seen some of the most significant political advances in Scotland’s history.
The announcement of Sturgeon’s resignation is not only a sad day for Scotland, but it is also a testament to her leadership. While her time at the helm of the Scottish government was marked with considerable controversy and criticism, her tenure has led to a number of positive benefits for Scotland that will be long lasting.

One of the first and most significant impacts of her leadership was the passage of the Scottish Independence Referendum in 2014, which provided a platform for Sturgeon’s SNP to campaign for independence from the United Kingdom. While the referendum ultimately returned a result in favor of remaining in the UK, the vote marked a decisive shift in the Scottish landscape and showed the British government that Scotland had the right and power to decide its own future.

In addition, Sturgeon oversaw a substantial cultural shift in Scotland. Through her leadership and championing of progressive initiatives and policies, Sturgeon pursued an agenda for social and gender equality, which helped to promote a more inclusive and equal society in Scotland. These initiatives were largely reflective of her own values and beliefs, and have done much to improve the lives of individuals throughout Scotland.

In addition, Sturgeon’s policies and initiatives have helped to improve Scotland’s economy. The Scottish economy was the fastest growing in the UK in 2016. This is largely due to Sturgeon’s emphasis on innovation and investment in the economy, as well as her push for economic equality and inclusion. This has helped to create jobs and increase wages, resulting in an improved economic outlook for Scotland.

In the years since becoming Scotland’s First Minister, Sturgeon has made powerful strides to make Scotland a more equal and progressive society. Her resignation should not diminish the tremendous accomplishments she achieved during her time in office, but should be viewed as a testament to the success of her leadership. Her tenure has provided Scotland with numerous positive benefits, and her legacy will continue to shape Scotland for years to come.
