Agree

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

While the SNP has not specifically called for public audits of politicians' tax returns, their general support for transparency in politics suggests they might be open to such a proposal. However, there is no clear historical example to indicate a strong stance on this issue.

Slightly agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

Slightly disagree

No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

The SNP's support for transparency in politics suggests they would lean more towards requiring candidates to release their tax returns rather than simply respecting them more if they did so voluntarily.

Strongly disagree

No, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties

The SNP's actions in promoting transparency, such as Nicola Sturgeon voluntarily publishing her tax return, suggest that they believe tax returns are relevant to a politician's duties and public trust. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the idea that tax returns have nothing to do with a politician's ability to perform their duties.

Very strongly disagree

No, their income is none of our business

The SNP's actions in promoting transparency, such as Nicola Sturgeon voluntarily publishing her tax return, indicate that they believe the public has a right to know about politicians' financial interests.
