Watch: Sturgeon reacts after husband charged in police probe
Spectator (UK)APR 2024
Sturgeon and Murrell reshaped Scottish politics as a powerful duo, driving SNP electoral successes. Sturgeon's leadership and Murrell's strategy created a formidable force, but their concentrated power sparked unease. Their legacy, once defined by dominance, is now marred by controversy — a true case study of the risks and rewards of modern politics.
Sturgeon and Murrell's legacy is synonymous with destruction. Their centralization of power alienated allies and ultimately destabilized the SNP. Murrell faces embezzlement charges, while Sturgeon's ill-fated coalition with the Greens led to policies that alienated key voters. Far from building a lasting legacy, their tenure has left the SNP fractured, diminished, and struggling to recover.
