Sturgeon's impact on Scotland's economy

Journalist: Melissa Lawford, The Telegraph

ended 15. February 2023

I'm writing an analysis piece looking at Nicola Sturgeon's impact on Scotland's economy and how her policies affected businesses in Scotland. What did her tax policies and the referendum/continual uncertainty about future referendums mean for the economic outlook/your business? What will be her legacy in the business community?

Sturgeon was a clear patriot and wanted the best for Scotland. She was also a heavyweight politician who put an argument across ferociously but in plain and simple language, you couldn't help but admire her passion. She wanted the best for Scottish business, but her obstinance over independence without a doubt had an impact on the economy north of the border and most business groups disapproved of her tenacity and not letting the issue lie with the referendum of 2014. Despite my own personal views differing from Sturegon's, I admire her as one of the best politicians I can remember. I just wish more MP's in Westminster had the dynamism she showed that motivated a nation.
