SNP defections to Salmond's new band of brothers. First Brexit, then Labour defections, Labour's terrible G.election, now SNP split. At this rate, Tories will be in power forever.

I hope they tear one another apart
Hell hath no fury like a fat lad scorned.

Just imagine the size of the pram needed so he can throw all of his toys out.

He's on a revenge mission, everything else is secondary including independence, which is a good thing for Scotland.
I might join - just for the hell of it!
Good for him that will show her, hope he takes lots of votes away from the Nicola woman.
I hate to do this ladies but we did have a wee chat about this yesterday!
Mango. That’s not an aggressive reply at all is it ?
TBF though, "ALBA" - perlease, do we have an explanation as to the origin of ALBA? or did he mean ABBA? I'm no fan of the wee un but I think she'll be his waterloo!
Would that be Waterloo?
i can't see that at this late stage of the election there will be that much support for the new party.
so brain's exhausted anne is it? You need to pick on the lack of a capital letter? Right oh! Would have told me all I needed to know If I didn't already know it!
oooo look I dropped another capital!
Alba is the Gaelic for Scotland but I noticed Salmond didn't use the Gaelic pronunciation in his recent video.
// she'll be his waterloo! //

well he's got something of a Napoleon complex -

# aand! they're coming to take him away, ha haa...... #
According to some of my Scots friends Salmond is well regarded in the borders and Sturgeon is disliked & also in the Highlands & Islands. Maybe she just rules the Glasgow - Edinburgh belt?
I heard him pronounce it Al-a-ba a few times, but i guess you don't mean that, TCL?
I wonder how this is playing out with the Scottish electorate.

I think his idea is it gives more opportunities for die hard independence lovers to vote that way. In practice, I suspect the sight of the in fighting will put voters off the lot of them.

Only time will tell.

Bizzare, but because of the list system, Salmond and a few of his friends will be elected. That will mean a few more MSPs being pro-independence - which will make absolutely no difference. So it looks like a simple vehicle for Salmond. And, I can't find out why they're called Alba...
TCB has answered the question about the name of the new party, though I can't see how using a Gaelic name is going to appeal to the electorate, most of whom don't speak it anyway.

He won't be getting my vote, that's for sure!
I used to like and respect Alec Salmond but did not support the SNP's quest for independence. But he seems to have now morphed into a typical sleazy and untrustworthy politician.

I fail to understand why anyone would want to be a politician of any type. The media seems to look for any tiny flaw in their life and attempt to destroy them.
