We answer the 5 most Googled questions about Nicola Sturgeon

DATA from Google Trends reveals what people have been searching for as the SNP conference takes place.

Since leader Nicola Sturgeon’s opening speech, these are the top five questions people have been Googling:

1) How old is Nicola Sturgeon?

Born in Irvine on July 19, 1970, she is 45 years old.

2) Is Nicola Sturgeon married?

She has been married to Peter Murrell since 2010. He is currently the chief executive of the SNP.

We have to wonder if this would’ve been as popular a question if we were talking about a male politician…

3) Does Nicola Sturgeon really say no to a second referendum?

In her opening speech at the SNP conference in Aberdeen, Nicola Sturgeon announced that holding another independence referendum before 2021 “would be wrong” and that there wouldn’t be one unless there was “strong evidence” that the Scottish people had changed their minds. However, she did say that if the UK leaves the EU it may justify a second referendum much sooner.

4) Is she an elected MP?

No, but she is an MSP. She stood in the first Scottish Parliament elections in 1999 and was elected in as a list MSP for Glasgow. She then won the Glasgow Govan (now renamed Glasgow Southside) seat in 2007 from Labour.

5) Who pays for Nicola Sturgeon’s clothes?

Who knows why people are concerned about who buys the First Minister’s ensembles. But here goes

We’re pretty certain that she pays for her clothes, seeing as she is one of the highest paid politicians in the UK. Whether or not she actually walks in to M&S to buy her own trousers, we’re not so sure about. She seems like an online shopping type of woman.

The data also shows how questions differ between browsers in Scotland and in the rest of the UK.

It also reveals the areas in which most people are searching for information about the SNP on Google:

1) Largs, North Ayrshire

2) Airth, Falkirk

3) Clarkston, East Renfrewshire

4) Uddingston, South Lanarkshire

5) Bridge of Don, Aberdeen
