So why is Salmond not idolised by SNP's high command like Sturgeon is?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : In my view, SNP apparatchiks, all of whom relied on the absolute patronage of Nicola Sturgeon, sought to re-try him in public.
54% : He would never have permitted his party to trample over the sex-based rights of women by promoting self-Id; nor would he have incurred the unnecessary cost of challenging its defenestration by the UK.
47% : Thus, the man who brought Scotland to the brink of self-determination is deleted while the woman who did most to destroy that sacred dream has been accorded regal status.
