Salmond steps down

[David Johnson]

Well, basically Cameron moved the goalposts off his own bat. Brown's "vow" was purely about Scottish devolution. Cameron announced out of the blue on Friday morning that it had to happen at the same time as English constitutional reform.

He clearly wants to have a situation that only English MPs vote on English matters because without Scottish and Wales MPs he realises that the Labour Party will really struggle. Labour in response will try to kick English reform into the long grass while concentrating on Scottish devolution.

salmond only proves personality cult politics works and can lure in people who would not normally support them,if you tell "the people" they are being held back or subjugated like say Putin for example can be very powerful.

With this result and the improving economy and dropping unemployment the Tories and UKIP will batter Labour and wipe out the Lib Dums. Marvellous.

Doubt that Arginald , the latest poll has Labour 5 points ahead and they have been ahead now for over three years . You do realise the tories have to be 3 points ahead to even be the biggest party at the next election?? So where are the votes that the tories need going to come from?? Certainly not from Labour voters.

So you would put Millibland in charge of the UK? Against Merkel and whichever Republican replaces Obi Wan Chocice in the Whitehouse? Not including the Indian and Chinese PMs who have both financial and military might? Be serious....

Yes i would. For sure. I couldn't care less what he looks like, it's the policies that matter.

There's always a job waiting for him at Donald Trump's golf course. After all, Salmond did all he could to push it through against massive local and national opposition, and then got the local police to intimidate, persecute and arrest those who were protesting. And of course only a fraction of the jobs for locals promised before hand actually materialised and a large stretch of beautiful shoreline was lost for ever to the vile Trump. Good riddance to a nasty piece of work.

Err No His Royal Trumpness has been slagging McSalmond off about the wind farm off the coast of his Aberdeen course. McSalmond will be powering it himself with all the hot air he spouts.
