I couldn’t tell you who will win the SNP leadership election, but I feel confident in stating that person will be in favour of Scottish independence. That is because the SNP is a pro-independence party. Anything else would be deeply weird.
But the SNP also considers itself to be a centre-left, social democratic party. All other things being equal, you would expect such a party to favour investment in public services over tax cuts, and adopt socially liberal positions on issues such as marriage.
