Well that's the news I've been waiting for. @lornaslater has taken Edinburgh Central for @ScottishGreens. I'm very pleased; she's the only genuinely inspirational member of #Holyrood in this generation, in my opinion.
Hopefully a future #FirstMinister.
Also, although Angus Robertson would make a fine ambassador for Scotland, we do not need yet another machine politician.

"Scotland’s first minister, John Swinney, said he was “deeply shocked and saddened”.
“Alex worked tirelessly and fought fearlessly for the country that he loved and for her independence. He took the Scottish National party from the fringes of Scottish politics into government and led Scotland so close to becoming an independent country.”"

To whom and what did she give her time as FM — which issues and interest groups had access and proximity? Which didn't?
I went through two years of Ministerial diaries, cross-referenced with the Lobbying Register and FOI publications, to find out.
