Curtice, a professor of politics at Strathclyde University, told BBC Radio Scotland’s Sunday Show that polling evidence suggested Salmond “is not a very popular politician any more”, but added the new party could “make all the difference” to whether the SNP won an overall majority.

When it launched there were some defections from the SNP, including two MPs. The former SNP justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, and Neale Hanvey, who represents Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, jumped ship meaning Alba now has more Scottish MPs than Labour. When confronted with this information by blog commenters, the tattoo bearer insisted that her trusted friends who were raised Irish-speaking in Ireland had given her this translation. She said: “Fine; whatever. The people that I know say that I’m right; the Irish Gaelic-English dictionary says that I’m right. But, go ahead guys. Tell me that my tattoo is wrong. It doesn’t matter. I’m happy with it.” She stated that she had also looked up “drug” in an English-Irish dictionary and found the word drugáil, and that the apostrophe was supposed to represent the fada (or srac in Scottish Gaelic) over the á. However, several SNP figures who are allies of Mr Salmond, most notably Joanna Cherry - the Edinburgh MP, respected QC and critic of Ms Sturgeon - have not signed up to his new project.

At a stroke, the entire dynamic of the election will change. The focus will no longer be on how many SNP seats will be lost to Labour, but how many of the ten remaining unionist seats will be lost to the Scotland United coalition. He was cleared of all charges in a sex assault trial last year, but has regularly faced difficult questions about inappropriate conduct towards women while he was First Minister. Some observers believe that the First Minister has already gone further than she would have liked to - repeatedly saying she will call for a new independence referendum by 2023 - due to the presence of Mr Salmond in the campaign. If it’s in English, then are you willing pay someone to have it (a) translated into Irish Gaelic and then (b) transliterated or retyped in a different font?

There are eight electoral regions in Scotland, and parties generally need around six per cent of second votes in a region to secure an MSP. Under the Scottish Parliament’s complicated voting system people get two votes - the first to elect a constituency MSP under first-past-the-post system which is identical to the system used to elect MPs at Westminster. The second vote is used to vote for a party rather than an individual, and these ballots are used to elect regional MSPs. Riamh” can mean “never,” but only when it’s paired with a negative verb. An example would be “ná géill riamh” (“never yield/give up”). In other contexts it can mean “before,” or “ever.” It’s an adverb, so it really can’t stand on its own. Yes, I actually read the whole thing, as I am a voracious reader with a passion for learning new information… Even if not directly related to my research goalsIn his letter, Mr Salmond claimed the plans could shift the focus away from turmoil within the SNP. The Alba Party was registered with the Electoral Commission in February by the journalist Laurie Flynn. With several fringe parties emerging in the run-up Scottish elections, few paid the development any attention. However, Mr Salmond insists it is legitimate to seek to take advantage of the existing voting system and claims the Prime Minister would find it harder to say no to an overwhelmingly pro-independence parliament. It is possible to search the poetry, so perhaps if you search on the Scots word “lad” or “laddie” you might find something suitable.
