Salmond, a Scottish citizen and British subject and the only leader of a political party in the United Kingdom with a clear majority at the latest election should be evicted from his own country and sent to an Asian country in an unseaworthy vessel with some European currency?

I may be wrong but it seems that this particular "what if' is being presented as an argument against independence.
For the sake of balance:
What if the oil boom had happened in an independent Scotland?

The scotch would have found a way to distill it and probably drunk it years ago

Salmond may, or may not, be an incompetent administor-in-chief (I have no way of knowing) but he is the ONLY leader of a political party who provides me with a clear answer to the questions he is actually asked in TV/radio interviews. If clarity of speech (and writing) is linked to clarity of thought - and I think this is reasonably plausible - then this is a good sign. On the other hand, I suppose his enemies will say it is because he has learned his lines better than the dopes at Westminster.

BM06 Do you mean Scots? as Scotch is a drink.
Colwyn, Mr. Salmond is a very eloquent speaker and a charming and plausible man to speak to. I remember a group of us going to see him about 21 years ago. We all felt so good after our meeting with him and full of hope. Sad to say he did absolutely nothing about our problem. I have encountered him on a few occasions since then, as have people I know locally and the general consensus of opinion is he talks really well is very disarming and totally convincing... Unfortunately, that's where it ends.
