Cole-Hamilton responds to Sturgeon stepping down
12 Mar 2025
Responding to the announcement that Nicola Sturgeon will stand down as an MSP, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:
“Whatever you think of her legacy, Nicola Sturgeon’s impact on Scottish politics has been undeniable.
“The SNP have been in power for too long, and the departure of another big figure is further proof of their decline.
“For so many people across Scotland, it feels like nothing works anymore. Next year, they will have a chance to draw a line under SNP division and neglect. At the 2026 election, Scottish Liberal Democrats will be focused on standing up for faster access to local healthcare, lifting up education and giving our economy the attention it deserves.”
