I have never said that MSPs or Scottish MPs have no influence in the rest of the country. Obviously they do. We are living in the United Kingdom of Great Britain (a very small island) and Northern Ireland.
I am not a supporter of Sky and what it stands for and think that this "poll" tells us very little, except that the cybernats are well organised.
I do think Nicola Sturgeon is a successful and influential politician and I particularly admired her contribution to the debates before the EU referendum.
The female politician I most admire is Shirley Williams. My husband once went canvassing with her for the LibDems and was bowled over by her commitment to what she believed and her sheer energy and enthusiasm, although I think she was over seventy at the time .
However if I had voted for the woman I consider to be the most influential, my vote would have gone to Margaret Thatcher, who changed this country for a generation and beyond - but changed it very much for the worst. Sadly, she has been more influential than any woman, or any politician in this country in my lifetime - and it has been a regrettably damaging influence. She has changed our country into a meaner, less caring, more divided country, and it is only now that some of the effects are being felt.
