Summarization
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been criticized for her long-term tenure in power and her party, the SNP's, desired push for independence. This has led to an increase of criticism on social media, where many people questioned the validity of a poll by a Tory peer and called on her to resign. They also discussed her lack of care to women's rights when constructing new laws and policies. A discussion was held at the Scottish Labour conference about a just transition. Lastly, poll results have been released with the majority of polls saying the opposite of the Tory peer's poll.

1624734697279324160 | @holyroodmandy @HolyroodDaily Far from wanting to encourage the nat cult & their baseless indy mania, Sturgeon has to go. She's been in power far too long & it has obviously corrupted her. The extremely unpopular GRR bill & the disastrous Deposit Return Scheme, to name a few, are unjustifiable #ResignSturgeon | 60 |
