She said she had given the task of achieving that all she had. “But with nearly four years now until the next Scottish Parliament elections, I am convinced that the party needs a new leader with fresh energy, drive and a new mandate to take the party into that contest,” she added. She also previously hinted that her current girlfriend is also from political surrounding. But they were not going to reveal any details of their relationships which still needed space and time.The next Scottish Parliament elections are set for 2021, with Westminster elections due in 2022.
