Contributing sentiments towards policy:
66% : For the SNP, Brexit has turned out to be both the casus belli for its second push for independence and a strategic disaster.64% : The irony, then, is that just as Brexit acts as both an irritant and a salve to the threat of Scottish independence, devolution itself is a prime source of the union's instability, the unbridgeable fault line in the body politic which no-one in Westminster is prepared to confront.
59% : The best thing that could happen to Scottish nationalism would be for Britain to rejoin the European Union.
54% : If anything, Brexit has made England's hulking presence next to Scotland even more pronounced, while demanding answers from the SNP that it does not seem ready or able to provide.
54% : Nairn's book was published in 1977 and yet the geriatric old relic endures, still supported by half of Scottish voters, despite Brexit and the political crises in Westminster that have followed.
52% : Fair or not, Brexit means that Scotland cannot dilute the dominating reality of England simply by leaving the union and joining the rump UK in a wider EU.
51% : Brexit has made Scottish independence a far more complicated prospect than it was before.
47% : For unionists, however, Brexit might be an unexpected weapon in their constitutional arsenal, but it is one whose very existence is a reminder of the union's inherent Englishness.
46% : When I asked Nairn a few years ago about the challenge Brexit posed to Scottish nationalism, he was thoughtful and reflective, arguing that it changed the type of relationship an independent Scotland would have with the UK after the latter's inevitable collapse.
