Alex Salmond’s ego hoping to burst with self importance
Posted By Editor On December 23, 2009 @ 9:21 am
Scottish politician Alex Salmond is threatening legal action to ensure he is involved in the national election debate, despite 90% of the population being outside Scotland and not giving a rat’s toss what he has to say about anything.
Salmond, Scotland’s First Minister and leader of the Scottish National Party, has claimed that his exclusion from the main national debates is undemocratic and would do untold harm to his political ego.
Salmond told reporters, “I am the First Minister, First. That makes me as important as the Prime Minister, because first means prime, sort of.”
“How can I continue claiming to be important on the International scene if the only people who are exposed to my nationalist ramblings are the people of Scotland?”
“I have just as much right to lie through my teeth to the nation as those other politicians. I can’t be less important than Nick Clegg, surely?”
Uninterested
Viewers and voters have expressed dismay at the SNPs plans to launch a legal bid for Salmond to be involved in the debates.
David Simms, 37, told us, “One self-important Scottish moron on television at a time is more than enough for anyone, I didn’t even have the opportunity to vote against either of them.”
“For some reason Salmond seems to be under the mistaken impression that the people of Tunbridge Wells have the slightest interest what happens in Scotland.”
“We don’t, for clarification.”
“I don’t understand why he thinks he’s important south of the border? I mean, Boris Johnson looks after 50% more people than he does, but I wouldn’t want that blond buffoon anywhere near the televised debates.”
“Honestly, if we’re going to include people with political agendas I have absolutely no interest in, and which don’t affect me, let’s at least make them entertaining.”
“Maybe Kim Jong Il or Robert Mugabe would be interested in taking part?

SNP to thkweam until they are sick over televised PM debates
Posted By Editor On April 30, 2010 @ 4:40 pm
Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond has today threatened to scweam and scweam and scweam until the nation pretends he is more than a complete irrelevance to over 90% of the population, and we all agree to let him be on the television.
Salmond’s scweaming bid - backed by several expensive lawyers - is in response the BBC’s election debate this Thursday, which has excluded the SNP on the basis that the vast majority of people don’t live in Scotland.
However, the SNP view is that this is discriminatory to minority parties, and Salmond is demanding that his performance be torn apart by the nation’s tabloids the same as any other leader.
Salmond told reporters outside the courthouse, “This debate will be broadcast in Scotland, to Scottish people, yet I’m not going to be involved, which is an absolute travesty.”
“The fact that we’ve already had our own debate up here is completely irrelevant. I want the opportunity to stand next to some genuinely relevant people, and if my continuing pleas are ignored, then I will stand here and scream until I am sick.”
Debate
Political parties across all sides of the chamber have said that allowing Salmond access to the televised debates will make a mockery of the process, and make him look really, really silly.
However, some parties have said the precedent could be important for their own parties, with Wilf Thurrock of the Yorkshire Party claiming an equal right to the national televised platform.
He told reporters, “There are more people in Yorkshire than in Scotland, so we deserve to be in this debate more than the SNP.”
“Yorkshire people deserve the right to hear about Yorkshire issues and how these London-centric parties will address the needs of the voters throughout yorkshire.”
“We won’t be screaming like a lass if we don’t get it, but we deserve to be heard just as much as the SNP do.”
