Just recently, Nicola Sturgeon announced that she would be resigning from her post, effective November 24th 2021. While the news may have come as a shock to many people, it is important to remember the many positive effects Sturgeon has had on Scotland over the last seven years.
When Sturgeon arrived in office in 2014, Scotland’s economy was suffering from the effects of the economic downturn, and unemployment and inequality were still present. Under her leadership, however, she has worked hard to make sure every person in Scotland has equal opportunities. She has invested heavily in education and infrastructure, and has dedicated her time and energy to causes such as reducing poverty and tackling inequality.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) is also credited with introducing free education for all five to eighteen year olds, which has enabled more Scottish children than ever to receive the best possible education. Sturgeon has also invested in public transport, including an increase in electric cars and buses in Scotland.
In addition, Sturgeon has championed important social issues, such as gender equality and LGBT rights. She was the first openly LGBT Prime Minister in the UK, and she has made major efforts to combat sexism, racism, transphobia, and homophobia.
The Scottish Government has also seen significant improvements in public health services, and Sturgeon has increased the number of mental health service providers, as well as the amount of funding available for treatments. This is especially important during this current pandemic, when so many people are struggling to access the help they need.
Nicola Sturgeon’s legacy in Scotland and the UK will be remembered for many years to come. She has served the people of Scotland with grace and dignity, and her tireless efforts have brought a wealth of positive benefits and developments to Scotland. Her resignation will be a great loss to the country, but we can be sure that her legacy will live on.
