Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : I don't say that to vindicate nationalism as an ideology, or to brush aside the angry divide it produced inside Scotland during Salmond's time, or indeed how to smooth away the personal behaviour which caused his deep rift with Nicola Sturgeon.
44% : He described his mother as a "Winston Churchill Conservative" but as a student he moved to the left and to nationalism - as a time when the SNP was deeply socially conservative.
