For whatever reason (probably decades of the media telling you lies), you’ve decided you don’t like Alex Salmond.
You have lost all rational thought. You have no basis upon which to dislike him but “you just do”.
Plus you think there is no smoke without fire even though (2)
(2) the court cases categorically demonstrated both HIS INNOCENCE and the lies of the accusers.
You “just like” Nicola even though her version of Independence is AT LEAST 5+ years away. Even though there is £600k missing.
Even though her husband is obstructing the process. (3)
(3) and even though she continually states #BothVotesSNP (thereby allowing unionists into our Parliament when that needn’t be the case).
But you “just prefer” Nicola. Why? What has Nicola herself actually done for you? The policies upon which you base your SNP Vote? Who was (4)
(4) it who brought those policies in? Can you remember?
Yes you can. It was under the leadership of Alex Salmond. But wait! That’s the guy (for whatever reason) you don’t like.
But you just can’t explain why. Here’s a sharp lesson for you; he’s the person pushing the agenda.
(5) and he’s the guy who knows the funds for the supposed “ring fenced” spend on a Referendum are missing. How does he know this? He knows it because people like @KennyMacAskill talked about it over 6 months ago in the National. We’ve all suspected it was spent on something.
(6) so what was it spend on? Will the police find out after their discussions last week with Peter Murrell and Nicola? Will the police investigation be concluded before the election?
Will you acknowledge that Alex gave 50% of his salary to charity? Will you accept he tried (7)
(7) tried to prevent the tax payers money being spent on the flawed court cases? Will you finally grasp that Nicola is now the establishment’s “safe Nationalist” and that Alba are “a danger to the union”.?
When will you grasp this? Before the election? Or once you have (8)
(8) inadvertently voted unionists into our Parliament because you’re too lazy to understand D’Hondt?
Too deeply entrenched in “SNP do good things” without ever questioning why top ranked people have defected?
And when will your bizarre dislike of Alex Salmond give way to (9)
(9) the fact that the SNP *CANNOT* achieve Independence on their own and have set it back to AT LEAST 2026.
Let’s #MaxTheYes and vote SNP & Alba (on the List,
NOT SPLITTING THE VOTE BEFORE YOU START THAT NONSENSE ARGUMENT).
For Scotland.
Support SNP & Alba.

When @jeremycorbyn first got into power as @UKLabour Leader, many people were energised. Indeed, he brought a new and dynamic force to Labour & to politics.
In Scotland, many people who had said “Labour left us, we didn’t leave Labour” felt some sense of reward for their (2)
(2) decades of loyalty to Labour. Then they realised that @scottishlabour were charlatans who would stoop so low that they would combine with Tories to promote a Tory/Labour council pact. Then we had the start of @jeremycorbyn lying about Scotland. First he decided to (3)
(3) suggest that Scotland had not tackled poverty and that the SNP were not governing properly in areas such as education and the NHS. Many of us showed him that Wales, under Labour, was in a real state compared to Scotland - generally performing the best in this “U.K.” (4)
