    That would depend on whether he wins the ultimate vote or not - if he does then he'd be forever remembered as the man who managed to do what William Wallace failed, and if he fails then at least he'd still have his nice pension and probably strike a better deal for Scotland.

    It's win-win for him really.

    The only thing that can stop it is if he sells out totally to the English...

      He's saying what the common man in Scotland wants to hear, he's pushing just the right buttons.

      Think Adolf Hitler and his rise to power. "Scotland is in a sh!t state and it's all because of those bastard English!!!", Ok Alex, you want "Independence" then on your head be it.

        This is what I am alluding to in another thread; he's not daft, the people who are listening to him are. He's telling them just the right things, as you said, pressing the right buttons.

        I actually can't wait. They think they're another Norway, but they're just another Portugal, without the sunshine and beaches and that's in just as tulip a state.
