Oh that's comedy gold
The trouble was she was fixated on Scottish independence so everything else suffered. SNP governments had a poor record in education, drug abuse, women's rights etc.

You're entitled to your political opinion, but they're not facts.
They're well documented facts, and no, you can look for them yourself, I managed to.

Why not post up these "well documented facts" instead of just claiming they exist.
Comments from sources such as this will confirm my comment as accurate:
18 years of SNP failure - Scottish Conservatives
11. The SNP Government went to court in an attempt to conceal evidence about the ministerial code investigation into Nicola Sturgeon – and lost.

SNP school record a 'national disgrace' - Douglas Ross
The first minister responds to criticism after study finds Scottish school standards are slipping.

Then you'll need to compare other parties in similar countries and regions to demonstrate that any failings are due purely to party policy, not extraneous influences, and that other parties would have done better.
Best of luck with that.
They (SNP) are still fixated by independence, that never really changed. I suppose it's no surprise given it's their very reason for existence i.e. to deliver an independent Scotland. They have a significant voter base who'll vote for them almost no matter what because those voters desperately want independence. All parties have similar (blinkered voter base) however for now at least, the SNP's is of significant size.
Education up here is not in a great place. We get taxed more under their 'progressive' tax system. Oh and a few years back the rumor goes they were internally discussing whether some new towns should be built. Do I need to give you three guesses who they mainly had in mind re the new residents of these new towns?
Sure the SNP want 'independence', they then want to take us right back into the EU.
Unfortunately up here, the opposition parties offer little in the way of competition to them. Scottish Labour were on the up, however suffered quite significantly due to the Starmer effect.
