This is a desperately silly question.Polls have to move beyond this childishness.

I'd like a party that's inspired by the best of our history while learning from its failings; that builds on what's good & improves what's bad;that wants Britain to be better tomorrow than today.1/ https://twitter.com/GoodwinMJ/status/1381968142742679569
A nation's history is a tissue of different events, personalities, peoples & processes stretched across centuries. It is built, like all things human, out of "the crooked timber of humanity", embracing every shade of good & ill. You can't just tick a box marked "pride" or "shame"
If I am to feel "proud" of Alan Turing, must I also feel proud of those who hounded him to death? Must pride in Chartists or suffragettes involve pride in those who locked them up and force-fed them? Must I choose between celebrating slavery or denigrating Shakespeare?
Patriotism has never meant an uncritical celebration of everything in a nation's past. Shame can also be a patriotic emotion: Attlee, for example, was a deeply patriotic man who thought Britons deserved better than the mass unemployment, poverty &injustice of the previous century
Britain desperately needs a more adult conversation about its history, that stops treating it as some kind of loyalty test or morality tale. In the meantime, it is no business of any party to tell us how to feel about the past. They've got plenty of other things to get on with...
