Does Alex Salmond, who has fought all his political life to break up the United Kingdom and who lost the referendum by a sizable margin, have any right to influence, to a lesser or greater degree, matters which will affect 60 odd million voters who cannot vote against his party.

NO !!

He'll probably want to have the Westminster parliament to change the etiquette for replying to a CBF post ;).

He'll know what it's like to be disappointed..............again! ;)

If he gets elected ... YES.

He will get elected, he is in S.N.P. country. Then if the other S.N.P candidates get elected they will hold the balance of power in a hung election. So ultimately Salmond will be running the whole of the U.K.

If the numbers go that way, then unfortunately yes it could happen. Which is what you get when politics is run on the basis of Political Managerialism rather than Political Conviction. And then they'll try telling us that they are putting the nation before (low) politics, and, almost certainly, that we all need to sacrifice something in the interest of austerity sorry I mean the country and all.
Fellow Scotsman Ramsey McDonald - like Alex Salmond - was a darling of the left, and didn't blink in forming a National Government of Tories and elements of the Labour Party in order to achieve political power for their own personal and political ends.

And to your original question H, I would answer that yes he has. There is another question though. Should he be allowed to, or even will he be allowed to.

For some it didn't take long for "Better together" to turn into "Bloody foreigners coming down south, putting themselves about, just like they had the same rights as English people".

Or even those from the western fringe! ;)
