Nicola Sturgeon’s Quest for Scottish Independence

The New Yorker profiles Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland and the leader of the Scottish National Party, ahead of the UK’s “Super Thursday” elections.

She “has skillfully shifted the debate over Scottish independence away from history and constitutional arcana and toward the more pressing question of which kind of society voters would prefer to live in: Boris Johnson’s Brexit Britain or Nicola Sturgeon’s social-democratic Scotland.”
