Political opportunists Hilary and Nicola

In her first years in politics, it was evident Hillary Clinton lacked any credible political skills and her political career would be wholly reliant on the support of her husband President Bill Clinton who opened many doors for her. Following her husband’s retirement, she decided on taking her career forward without him and failed badly.

The career of Nicola Sturgeon fits the same pattern. She failed in her chosen career in Law then followed up with nearly 10 years of failure in politics only succeeding when Alex Salmond gave her a political “leg up” mentoring and protecting her from her many inadequacies then handing over to her the leadership of a thriving SNP at the end of 2014. Mirroring the career of Clinton, Sturgeon failed. The SNP membership is despondent and badly divided and there is a great danger it will descend into anarchy.
