Essentially though, by being in charge of the Holyrood Parliament, he can now push through his policies and drive Scotland towards independence from the rest of the UK. This remains a controversial issue in Scotland, with strong feelings either side (I personally do not want independence, but others will disagree). He will want to be First Minister for the same reason that anyone enters politics - to change the country he lives in for what he would consider the better.
