    He does look very sleazy. But undeniably competent. Voters will forgive a lot if they feel their man will always come out on top. Not like his wheeler dealings during the minority government have been bad for Scotland.

    I sometimes wonder if Scottish Labour policy would more closely resemble SNP policy absent the influence of the Westminster party.

    I feel like trying to appeal to voters in Scotland and voters in England with the same platform inevitably has to end up with one or the other getting neglected.

    English Labour is an irrelevance by itself, is the problem. The two can't really seperate without dooming the mother party.

    I was impressed by Nicola Sturgeon at First Minister's Questions this week. I'm still researching her outside of that, but she seemed much more competent and capable than Salmond.

    I feel like Britain as a whole deserves a better opposition than Miliband's Labour party.

    If Alex Salmond is your idea of a good leader then I suppose you'll get the government you deserve.

    Truer words were never spoken.

    How exactly is Salmond a bad leader? He secured a majority in a non-majoritarian system, and operated an effective minority government.
