    RIP Alex. He brought a party on the fringes of Scottish Politics into a dominant government and missed taking Scotland Independent by the skin of his teeth with a result no would have thought imaginable. Scotland has lost a rampant lion today. Rest in Peace, Alex. Without a doubt the Strongest Leader (& First Minister) Scotland has saw in hundreds of years.

      He got in like Sir Keir Starmer from a protest vote and the party didn't deliver, they were selfish, very similar to Sir Keir Starmer, being from you know, ordinary roots, horrible, arrogant and bumptious people.

    Although the snp lost there is still major dissatisfaction with the union not just in Scotland but all across the uk in wales, Northern Ireland and northern England and if political reform isn’t implemented the union will break up eventually so I believe to solve this the uk should become a federation like Canada and Australia with a lot more devolution to Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland with regional assemblies in England this could do alot for resolving the tensions and dissatisfaction felt with the union across the uk even Churchill proposed a federal uk in the early 20th century

    You know Alex, I was a 'yes' supporter- but looking over the last ten years of the lunatic SNP, I really think we dodged a bullet there. I'm now a firm 'no'. If I wanted to live in a Socialist Paradise, I'd move to one.

      @@KizzieWiz No they're not ,, because I voted Yes in 2014 but have now completed changed my mind.
      I took the trouble to email my local MP regarding important matters and asking questions about pensions etc. She said she would be in touch but never bothered and the same questions are still unanswered today by the SNP. They are liars and are completely conning the people of Scotland

    Give the Referendum to the English. I'd love to stop ALL monies given to ALL of the substandard countries of NI, Wales & Scotland. England would be a damned sight better off as we create over 85% of the monies used by the Treasury & England needs its own devolved Parliament!

      Instead of bumping your gums like so many of the Saxon Morris dancin yahoos do, get off your arse & organise an English referendum. It's not difficult, it just takes organisation & will power, not mouthing off on RUclips. Drop all the pish Englander & sort it out, too many of your ilk over the years never do anything other than trumpet & bleat to the gallery of similars. Your country will be Islamic soon enough & it is as clear as sunlight that collectively too few of you sadly, have got the will or the guts to take on the political Islam & its army of cloned ned's. Unless of course you think that setting cars & hotels on fire & throwing bricks at the Polis will win the day? Who are you kiddin Jessie? Create 85% of the money? HahaHahaHa! You confuse England a nation with hee haw natural sources worthy of name with the City of London money laundering gangsters. What an absolute belter you are! Carry on then!

    Alex Salmond isn't in the SNP, however, looking at the comments from the Morris dancin English Nationalists & the submissive Union Jack Jock lackeys, you really would think it was still 2014. Steamers!
