Nicola Sturgeon-does appearance matter?

I don't like Wee Nicky, or her politics, but I do admire her style; she always looks polished and professional. Wonder if she could take Corbyn to task and smarten him up a bit? Just getting rid of his socks and sandals would be a start.......

I think she is cold, no warmth in her face or voice

Ah I totally get that angle paddyann and have agreed with your reasoning totally in the past. It just seems however that the majority is not with you? I don’t blame you at all for trying. But if you are in the minority you must surely sympathise with those whose majority votes seem brushed aside (like us Leavers over Brexit). That was the point I was making.

ah butUrmstongran there were many who voted NO in teh Independence referendum because we were told staying in the UK was the ONLY way we could stay in the EU.Fast foward and the circumstances have certainly changed.We are about to be dragged out against our will...62% voted remain.Just yesterday a french spokesman told us that if we leave the UK our place in the UK will be seamlessly held ...we already have the EU laws in place ,so no queue and no reason why we cant just take the UK's place .*Jane 10* you wouldn't like the virgin Mary if she was a member of the SNP ....its that SNP BAD issue that you have .lol

Mutti Merkel
Mammi Nicky??

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!

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

I think AM has a kind heart.

'Nippy sweetie' = acid drop? Eh Jane10?

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!)

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 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!

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

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.

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?).

All of them!

Jane10 the Tracey Ullman sketches were hilarious.

Yes! She certainly seems tough!

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

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

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

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.

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