After seeing this polling I wonder if Nicola Sturgeon is regretting her announcement about standing down from Holyrood next year.

I think Sturgeon will find retirement not all caviar and champagne as there will be regret that on her part that she didn’t make more progress on indyref2 during the optimum time of the Boris Johnson premiership as Scotland was dragged out of the EU against her will.

Sadly Betfair are yet to put up their markets on next year’s Holyrood elections.
