NICOLA Sturgeon has spoken in the Scottish Parliament chamber for the first time since resigning as first minister ...
On Wednesday afternoon, MSPs at Holyrood debated the PfG.
The former first minister then went on to speak “not so much on what we do here but on how we do it”, warning that a polarisation of politics had led to a paralysation of action. “Polarisation in politics is much maligned. It is the paralysis of action it results in that should worry us most.“First, a collective recognition that the challenges we face on inequality, climate, sustainable growth demand tough decisions. These are by definition hard, often unpopular, and will meet resistance from those who benefit from the status quo. That’s not an argument for ignoring those voices – but for making sure they don’t become an automatic veto on change that is necessary.
“I want this parliament to be independent and believe it soon will be. But that won’t stop me arguing for a more incremental expansion of our powers along the way. Likewise, those who opposeshouldn’t close the door to new powers now that can better help us tackle the challenges we face.
