Dont you find that all politicians act in their own interests, particularly those at the top?

They try to balance throwing titbits to the public to the extent sufficient to keep them in power. But, imo, their motivation is not the best interests of their country all though they may be advanced to whatever extent by corollary.

My mind goes back to Cameron; in my judgement, his driving force to remain in the EU was to sit at the top table and be influential. Sure, he'd hope to get a good deal for the UK as that would likely keep him in power.

Sturgeon's not much different. She wants to sit at the top table in Europe - she doesn't sit at the top table in the UK as there is no top table.

Simples, really.
