Historic. Impossible. The SNP won a landslide victory (which in AMS terms is a majority).
Here is Alex Salmond’s speech “Team Scotland has won this election”
All the other parties (and my personal preferences) were swept aside by this yellow wave.
The final newsnicht leaders interview is with Alex Salmond (so I’ll also include the Patrick Harvie mini-interview from the other day for completeness later)
Not only was this the last of the interviews, it was the poorest. If Gordon Brewer doesn’t feel like he has something to attack it seems like he can’t interview at all. Brewer was never going to have the same easy targets to find like he did with Tavish Scott, Annabel Goldie, or Iain Gray and was left floundering on the independence referendum and the idea that voting SNP gave David Cameron an easy time.
Any questions on policy were left to the final couple of minutes and there wasn’t enough time to question Salmond’s answers.
The final Newsnight Scotland Leaders Interview in the series. Alex Salmond, First Minister and Leader of the Scottish National Party
Much delayed, but here it is.
This week saw the end of the 19th Commonwealth Games, Delhi 2010. For your viewing pleasure, here is the handover to Glasgow 2014
Depicting all things Glaswegian, such as highland dancing and the Loch Ness Monsters ….. hang on, well at least it featured modern current musicians such as … The Proclaimers ….. from Leith …… still it looked like Alex Salmon enjoyed it
