Chris and Suzanne Styles, creators of the Human Futurology Podcast and the first to reveal through detailed research that we humans have an Intelligent Mathematical Blueprint [IMB], discuss the resignation of Nicola Sturgeon. They reveal how what physically happened around her in 2020 (Covid-19) is again emotionally connected with and to her in 2027. They also reveal why her 2024-2028 journey is “themed” by the identical number sequence [AEN 21//3 – see Slide 3 of supporting podcast information pack] that defined her 2014-2017 [2014 was THE year she became First Minister] – so it seems even bigger career things could be just around the corner for her.

This podcast is best listened to with the 3 slide supporting data pack to hand.

 

 

Nicola Sturgeon has announced she is resigning as Scotland's first minister after more than eight years in the role. The Scottish National Party leader said she knew "in my head and in my heart" this was the right time to step down. Ms Sturgeon said she would remain in office until her successor was elected. She is the longest-serving first minister and the first woman to hold the position. Ms Sturgeon insisted her resignation was not in response to the "latest period of pressure", which has included controversies over gender reforms, trans prisoners and the strategy on independence. She acknowledged there had been "choppy waters", but said her decision had come from "a deeper and longer-term assessment".

"Since the very first moment in the job, I have believed that part of serving well would be to know, almost instinctively, when the time is right to make way for someone else," she said. "And when that time came, to have the courage to do so, even if many across the country, and in my party, might feel it too soon. In my head and in my heart I know that time is now. That it is right for me, for my party and for the country. And so today I am announcing my intention to step down as first minister and leader of my party.”

We are at a critical moment," she said. "The blocking of a referendum as the accepted, constitutional route to independence is a democratic outrage. But it puts the onus on us to decide how Scottish democracy will be protected and to ensure that the will of the Scottish people prevails." She said that support for independence needed to be "solidified" and to grow further. "To achieve that we need to reach across the divide in Scottish politics, and my judgement now is that this needs a new leader," she said.

This is a bombshell which will send shockwaves through Scottish politics. That's not just because Nicola Sturgeon has been a key figure for so long - an MSP since the Scottish parliament was opened in 1999, and its longest-serving first minister. It's also because her government stands at a pivotal moment in the pursuit of the SNP's founding goal, of Scottish independence. The party is holding a special conference next month to decide how it should move the issue on, in light of the UK government's refusal to engage with plans for a referendum.
