HOW are historians likely to remember Sturgeonomics, assuming they do remember it, or indeed its creator?
We’ve heard a lot about Trussonomics, after all, and the First Minister’s denunciation of the super-rich ‘laughing all the way to the bank’.
In Scotland, the super-rich tend to be the quangocrats — who are the only beneficiaries of the separatist regime and its unrelenting commitment to rewarding failure.
As for what Nicola Sturgeon’s own philosophy is, or that of her stand-in Finance Secretary John Swinney, it might be harder to discern, at least at first glance.
But it’s clear that the only growth industry the SNP supports is the manufacture of grievance and division, and public inquiries, which have done their bit to keep the legal profession, or parts of it, in the black.
Economic growth in Scotland has been running at roughly half the rate of the UK’s since 2014, resulting in Nationalist tax-grabs, on the pretext that it is somehow ‘progressive’ to penalise all those fat cats such as headteachers and senior police officers.
