The SNP leader Alex Salmond, war torn for stating (at least) an historical truth, won the debate of possible 'first ministers' organised by the Times of London. He came out ahead of Donald Dewar.

However, the polls , if they are right, show Labour voters in Scotland have exceeded all expectations in their degree of stupidity and fallen for the spin and hype of the so called 'Scottish parliament' and started to back their London masters as they always do, the sheep that could vote.
