About Alex Salmond

He was a former member of both the Scottish and Westminster parliaments. Salmond was leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) for two terms, firstly from 1990 to 2000 and later from 2004 to 2014. A feud with his successor as first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and his arrest for sexual offences (he was acquitted in the eventual trial) led to Salmond leaving the SNP. From 2021, he was leader of the Alba Party.

I do not favour the mushy ground of false consensus. The public interest is not served by parties incapable of defining their driving principles and standing their ground. Politics is either about the competition of ideas or it is about nothing. But just as the public interest is served by that competition, so it is ultimately better served by thoughtful reflection rather just than knee-jerk reaction.
