Mr Salmond had been our local MSP for years and with my knowledge of him...Quite a lot... I would not put him in charge of the local Dustcart let alone the country.

I certainly wouldn't have much faith in him or the party on the World stage. The fact is that the Scottish Parliament is more like a city council than a national government. It's all lovely abolishing bridge tolls and meeting Chinese representatives to help push Scotch whisky exports but I can't imagine wanting to leave it to Salmond when it comes to taking the decision whether or not to send Scottish soldiers into war in some far off land, and can't really envisage him holding his own around the table with the likes of Sarkozy and Merkel. Unless he's bringing the coffees of course.

Wrong Scunner, he will be bringing the Donuts.... Remember he was one of the M.P's in the expensives scandal who claimed monthly for his food, something close to his heart.

So it would be better to leave representation to that supremely accomplished statesman and diplomat Dave Cameron? Blimey, I hadn't realized Salmond was that bad close up.

It appears to some that David is our saviour - he who cares for the common man (as long as it is within the 'CITY' (their 'CITY') !!

As I understand it, negotiations will begin only after a "yes" vote.

How, in heavens name, am I meant to make a valued judgment on a deal when I don't know what the deal is.
