Election launch
Today Alex Salmond launched the SNP election campaign, with an impressive flourish: ” … when the SNP makes progress, Scotland makes progress … when the SNP wins Scotland wins.”
SNP HQ explain: “The SNP campaign themes will centre on their proposal for a non-means-tested “Citizen’s Pension” of £110 for singles and £168 for couples, saving merger-listed Scottish regiments and creating a Norwegian-style “oil windfall fund” from North Sea revenues to finance public investment.
The themes also include opposition to any new nuclear power stations or successors to the Trident nuclear submarines, attacking “unfair” proposals for heavy grid charges for renewable energy plants in the north of Scotland and an opposition to identity cards.”
But why is everyone so certain that the election will be on May 5?
