I do not want to see, for any reason, the Tories resurgent in any way.

I came into politics because of my opposition to what a Tory Government was doing to the community I grew up in.

I think the fact that people are even talking about the prospect of the Tories coming second is less about anything the Tories have done and more about the failures of Labour to set out, in any kind of coherent sense, what it's for anymore.

From Nicola Sturgeon

Vote SNP for a party that always stands up for Scotland, that is stronger for Scotland, and a government that will keep the country moving in the right direction.

From Nicola Sturgeon

I won't say I've never felt in Alex Salmond's shadow, but latterly, when Alex was leader, I didn't. It's more about my awareness of the fact I became First Minister during a parliamentary term. That means you're First Minister, but you haven't been elected in your own right as First Minister.

From Nicola Sturgeon

I'm not a scientist. If there is a risk to our environment, there will be no fracking.

From Nicola Sturgeon

As First Minister, I will always act in the best interests of the country. As party leader, I will always act in the best interests of the party, and if that sometimes means taking difficult, unpalatable decisions, I will never shy away from that.

From Nicola Sturgeon

I stand here today as the first woman first minister of our country. Every day I hold this office, I will work to ensure that every woman, every wee girl across this country, gets a chance to do what I've done and follow their dream.

From Nicola Sturgeon

There was nothing in my childhood that said, 'She's going to be first minister of the country one day.'

From Nicola Sturgeon

Talent is really important in politics, but experience is also really important.
