Yikes! Alba Party - anyone voting for Salmond?

[PrelovedWithValue]

Not a chance in hell will I be putting my X next to a party led by him.

It's a nope from me.

What an utter prick he is. It will be an embarrassment how few votes he gets.

no, no and no again

Absolutely not!

NO

Hell no. He is odious
Great he’s set up a party hopefully keep him busy & less rabid on his pursuit of ongoing grudge with FM

No

Completely agree He’s over inflated and over stated his own sigficance

That's what I'm hoping! End his political career and deflate his ego in one easy step 🤞

No definitely not. He's finished.

It’s pretty standard political fare, leave in a huff under cloud of scandal
Try reinvent yourself as billy big baws with a new party

If alba are on the list in my region they will get vote. I'm an independence supported but quite frankly sick of snp, is particular nicola sturgeon and her cabal.

Yep I'll vote them. Need some level of pro-Indy opposition to keep this mob in check. NS's cabinet is utterly without talent.

Not voting for someone who admits to "acting inappropriately" with women.

He’s gone full Farage.

What a cock.

Who on earth is going to support him?

I'm frightened that he may get the votes of Scots who want independence but don't like NS's lefty-ness (I don't mean right wing; just right if NS, which isn't hard)

He does have a legitimate pro-indy argument, he's been very clever about what he's doing. Not a surprise there, really. SNP generally don't get list MSPs , as they do well in the constituencies, so a pro-indy party that isn't SNP could do well - and he knows it.

His ego is way too big, however, to stay behind the scenes. Had he let someone else be the spokesperson, and he stayed out of the limelight initially, it would probably fare better.

Is it called Alba because The Beastie Boys is already taken ?

Hate Salmond but hoping it splits the SNP vote AND it’ll piss off Sturgeon so win win really 👏🏻

@MiniMork that is incredibly offensive.

I'm no fan but he's hit on a good strategy.

If only it was Joanna Cherry - I would vote for her like a shot. Unfortunately she’s announced that she’s stepping back for a while because of health reasons. I can’t stand AS but I’m no fan of Nicola and her party at the moment.

Wow : this will liven up the election debates - can’t see where it’s going to go .

He's going for the regions, says BBC's Peter Smith.

ie the regional seats, squeezing out the Greens
