And suddenly it is all about Alex Salmond. Only four people could have pulled this off. Nigel Farage professes to have retired. Jeremy Corbyn is biding his time. And George Galloway is already doing the same thing as Salmond, but on the Unionist side.
Salmond and Galloway are both 66, and Galloway was last elected to anything in Scotland 20 years ago. Yet each of them stands more chance of being in the next Scottish Parliament than Nicola Sturgeon does. It is not impossible that she might lose her seat to Anas Sarwar.
Whereas Galloway is more than likely to be elected on the South Scotland list. And requiring only about one in 20 of the list votes that had not been wasted on the SNP, Salmond's election in the North East is absolutely certain.
Anyway, vote for the candidate who was best placed to defeat the SNP in each constituency, and vote All for Unity on the list. If the separatists can quite legitimately play the system, then so must their opponents.
