With Salmond hanging around he is still further damaging Scotland. He opened an unnecessary question that had been settled many years ago. The Scottish Government has lots of levers to pull already to sort its economy has had so for 15 years. There are more already agreed on the statute book including tax raising powers.
Yes 45% voted for YES, but thats 45% of 85% who turned out, so in fact it's only 38.25% of the electorate supported him. Bear in mind the electorate was increased by the addition of 16 year olds.
The areas that the SNP won had a low turnout. Glasgow, by far the largest council only had a 75% turnout with 53% voting yes. That's only 40% of the electorate saying YES
We we need to get back to building this country, but over the last few years of the SNP the focus has just been on independence. People have already voted with their feet. Why are the vast majority of professionals and skilled trades spending most of their time heading off down south each week?
Rather than a leadership election Salmond should do the right thing and call an election of the Scottish Government. He, Nicola, nor the SNP government have any mandate to continue. The Scottish electorate have spoken.
