Why Leia would be a PERFECT Sith Lord

Omg a what if of Leia becoming a Sith would be sick! And I agree that she would definitely be more like Palpatine since she's gotten so good at playing the long game. I could see Leia kicking ass with a red lightsaber, but I think she would lean more into the sorcery aspect of the Dark Side. Combined with the stubborn and ruthless streak she inherited from her father, and Darth Leia would rule the galaxy with an iron fist.

For sure I always think Leia resembles Anakin a lot with some hints of Padme. She has a stern stubbornness and less emotionally vulnerable than Luke who is a lot more like Padme, you can call it 'iron will'. I would even argue Ben Solo inherited his dark roots from her. She would make a FINE Sith Lord :D

I wouldn’t put it last her since her son turned to the dark side.

Naughty thoughts aside.
I would be okay with episode VII villain being a Sith RoTJ era Leia wearing slave costume. Becoming her own redemption ark for the absence of her Jedi mentor and brother, Luke. Okay... a nobody called Rey appears because her homeland was desolated by this Sith Queen and reaches Ben Skywalker who's a direct descendant of Luke and bound to know his father location. Helped by the Remnants of what's once the Galactic Empire... using a-worn-down and out-dated Star Destroyer. With Finn and the others playing Alien with one of Leia's dark apprentice.

Who woulda thought the Dark Side and Politics go hand and hand
