I'd say that is a common view shared by a huge chunk of the Scottish population. Note his popularity is ranked at about 15% and that ties in with that sentiment. All my family and friends share a similar view and their upcoming votes will be SNP1 and 2 - totally undeterred by this announcement and esp after all those recent almost daily attacks from the Brit government and media accomplices. Alex Salmond is the past and there appears to be a "Farage aspect" about this type of political move. It is slightly different but it reminds me of Farage's sudden removal of all Brexit Party candidates to allow Johnson to move in on winning the Brit gen election 2019 with a Brexit majority govt - never forgotten!! As my wife recently commented - "This man just can't keep out of the public spotlight, he's on another ego trip"! Well put and accurate!
