Dear All
So, the Scottish Leaders debate took place.
The clear winner by miles was First Minister and SNP MSP Alex Salmond.
Alex Salmond went head to head with Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy, shadow Scottish secretary David Mundell and Lib Dem Scottish spokesman Alistair Carmichael in the televised clash.
And won by a staggering margin!
The tale of the tape!
Alex Salmond 45%
Alistair Carmichael 33%
David Mundell 18%
Jim Murphy 5%
The story is total collapse of public support for Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy.
5%!
In a room which the Labour Party packed in their activists, Murphy after speaking was subject to stone cold silence.
Even hard core activists like Yousuf Hamid specially placed in the audience didn’t clap.
Jim Murphy was rightly placed fourth in the polling.
SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson said;
"There has been nothing to choose between the three Westminster leaders in the other debates, but there is a clear leader here in Scotland."
When pressed on the cuts issue facing Scotland, Alex Salmond countered by saying he would cut Trident, the ID cards system, the House of Lords and the Scotland Office.
It seems that although the SNP have been banned form the leaders’ debate, when given the opportunity to speak up for Scotland, Alex Salmond proved why he should be on the platform going head to head with Cameron, Clegg and Brown.
Alex Salmond won 45% of the popular vote.
Yours sincerely

If he can beat them hands down in a debate, how much more successful would the country be if only he were First Minister of an independent country?
Dear Tris
I think if we had control of our own country and resources, we would do very well.
I am keeping an eye of East Renfrewshire because if the people there saw Murphy's performance, they would desert him at the ballot box.
Murphy could be Scotland's portillo moment.
Worth a watch.
