Iam not deflecting anything, merely pointing out that it doesn't seem to be a resigning issue for a leader.Jam as someone who wouldn't ever vote Tory myself (infact right now I feel like no political party deserves my vote), why do you have to deflect to them on this issue. The thread title is 'Nicola Sturgeon'.
Obviously they should, the point I was trying to make is that it doesn't seem to be a resigning matter.I completely agree with you, the Tories should be held accountable by the law, my post wasn't intended to be having a go. It's just that you didn't mention the SNP or Nicola Sturgeon at all in your opening post @jam69 ..
What is your opinion on the actual topic at hand?

I think yes if she's misslead Parliament intentionallyObviously they should, the point I was trying to make is that it doesn't seem to be a resigning matter.
That last sentence is the main problem with British politics isn't it? Boris Johnson did mislead parliament. He was found guilty in a court of law and it gets hardly a mentionShe was said to have mislead the Parliamentary committee with her evidence, which is slightly different from misleading Parliament - the vote was 5-4 against. Those who were SNP voted for her, those not SNP voted against. The verdict of the report was leaked early.
From the BBC report:-
Ms Sturgeon has insisted she stands by all of the evidence she gave to the committee earlier this month.
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross has called for the first minister to resign.
However, Ms Sturgeon told Sky News: "What has been clear is that opposition members of this committee made their minds up before I uttered a single word of evidence. Their public comments have made that clear.
"So this very partisan leak tonight before they've actually finalised the report is not that surprising.
Mr Hamilton, a senior Irish lawyer, has been specifically examining whether Ms Sturgeon breached the ministerial code, which says that any minister who knowingly misleads parliament would be "expected to offer their resignation".
His inquiry is separate from the committee and is also expected to publish its report in the coming days.
I think it's a story that will run a while to be honest.
This I would love to see!Perhaps the best situation would be for her to say she will resign for misleading the house if Boris does the same. Win/win for everybody

Much the same as Priti Patel being cleared of bullying, despite it clearly happening.
