Nicola Sturgeon-does appearance matter?

Oh no - Nicola Sturgeon clones!!!!! Spare us.

She changed her appearance considerably to look as slim and polished. Good for her. It's the minute she opens her mouth that millions turn off.

Hi Nicola!

You might Day6 but she has a following and you can see why. It isn't just to do with her appearance. It's the absolute confidence. When you compare her with Mrs May's wilting creepiness you have to wonder.

Oh Kandinsky I wish!!! Unfortunately I'm carrying 30 years and 4 stone too much.

You have to be a big fan of Sturgeon to want any more like her.?
There are plenty of confident women MP’s that speak well,
They just don’t wear scarlet suits and six inch heels.

I admire her enormously, just don’t like her politics!

She's absolutely tiny and totters along on high heels. I have passed her in the corridor a few times.
I loved the Tracy Ullman impressions of her and also of Angela Merkel. That episode of Angela getting drunk on a private jet and drunk dialling Nicola to accuse her of stealing her style was hilarious.

I too admire her panache and utter confidence. Quite admirable.

She comes across as aggressive to me, like if you disagree with her she’d love to knee you in the goolies.

Yes! She certainly seems tough!

Jane10 the Tracey Ullman sketches were hilarious.

All of them!

Yes Kandinsky, know what you mean. If her appearance does matter is that because she is a woman? Alex Salmond didn’t go in for sartorial elegance but when he spoke it was like a verbal grabbing of the balls. Actually I have a theory that Nicola Sturgeon is morphing into Angela Merkel. (Oh no, does this mean that NS will be banging on and on about Indy2 now?).

It's the absolute confidence.

Is that good trait? I am not sure. I like a bit of humility too in my politicians.

I feel she is quite aggressive.

She is like a dog with a bone too. She doesn't give an inch. It might be good in competition but maybe not in politics. She might be polished but she's not likeable, imo.

I don’t agree with anything that comes out of her mouth but I think she carry’s herself well and looks the part.

I like her and I like Merkel, they are both strong women and seem straight talking not like most other politicians who say one thing and mean another

I was watching her today thinking that some of her clothes are very like Theresa's, but she always looks good in them. Oddly DH, who is not a lover of a scottish accent, really likes her. And I think she has a sense of humour, unlike Theresa!

That said Do any politicians believe in democracy at all? A referendum was held in Scotland and the people voted to stay in the UK. The British people voted to leave the EU in another referendum. The whole idea of a referendum is to find out what the people want and then deliver it. Why do politicians find this so difficult?

I do like Angela Merkel. I don't know why but I do.
I'm not keen on Nicola. She's a right nippy sweetie (Scottish phrase alert!)

'Nippy sweetie' = acid drop? Eh Jane10?

I think AM has a kind heart.

Not quite an acid drop more of a very hot peppermint anno.
She doesn't take any disagreement well!

I agree Jane10, I’ve always liked Angela Merkel, she seems like a nice decent woman, although, obviously I can’t understand a word she says!

Mutti Merkel
Mammi Nicky??
