That was inevitable.......he can cause mre chaos in Westminster than he can in Scotland now.... it would be brilliant to see Camoron or Millibland have to kowtow to Salmond to be able to create a working majority.... brilliant!!

good luck to him........

more like the millipede. slappy, the tories will fawn over the Unionists first. Are we surprised, no, and he has been an MP before, so it's not exactly a new breakout.

[mikey4444]

He has said that he intends to keep his Scottish Parliament seat as well, so he is going to be very busy from next May if he wins.

[mikey4444]

Wee Nicky has already said that she will not do a deal with the Tories.

Electoral Calculus have been predicting the Gordon Constituency will fall to the the Scot Nats. Looks even more probable now.
The Scots Nats may have a good tally of Westminster MPs after the General Election. They have already ruled out a coalition with the Conservatives, so it looks as though they plan to put have Scottish Independence as a price for putting Labour into power if the election is close.

The Westminster parliamentary constituency, Gordon, is 'next door' to the Scottish parliamentary constituency, Aberdeenshire East. Accordingly, Alex won't have far to go to be easily able to cope with the demands of both. Good luck to him!

Would the Westminster backbenches not seem dull after the heady delights of the Scottish Assembly?
