There is absolutely no question that Alex Salmond is THE most respected politician in the country.
The shallow fkwits who voted 'no' simply because of his physical appearance and natural demanour need a good kick in the nads.
I'm not saying there is anyone that stupid on here, but there were a fair few...

[Nevermore666]

Alex Salmond the altruist.


Meh

[mitherzundhand]

Salmond could fart into a microphone and all his little performing seals would clap and cheer and wave their wee saltires.

Almost like some Dear Leader in some third world dictatorship.

They're brainwashed.
