Don't like him but he has done the Honorable thing.

Nicola Sturgeon will probably get top job - should set them back further

[lordna]

Salmond followed by Sturgeon...something fishy going on perhaps?

[Longweekend]

Can't fault his commitment - just his judgement......

Oh, and never thought I would say this but a top Rallying call by Gordon Brown

... 'fraid I disagree! All credit to Salmond where it's due! Unlike the "3 wise men" (so~called) from Westminster, he and Sturgeon were a formidable team who, IMO, worked tirelessly to rally their fellow Scots to the cause they so firmly believed in!

How could you disagree with a man who almost wrecked the union. He should crawl back under the stone he came from. He has caused untold damage with friends and families at war.

I'm not sure Arthur, I think many Scots were happy before and all Salmond did was stoke up the fire - convincing everyone would be better off. Luckily the majority saw through this.

No negativity from them, everything was going to be in a independent Scotland, majority of Scots just didn't believe them, after all they are Politicians
