At the Conference of the Scottish National Party, held last weekend, SNP leader Alex Salmond said: "In my heart, in my head, I think Scotland will become an independent country within the European community" (by 2016).
However in an ICM poll commissioned by the Guardian newspaper 21st-23rd October 2011 only 39% of Scottish people want to stay in the European Union whereas 50% of Scottish people want to leave.
I have searched on Google but Alex Salmond does not seem to have been questioned on this major problem with the SNP's pre-eminent foreign policy objective (upon which all their other policies depend).
Why isn't Alex Salmond being challenged on the fanciful statements he is making? Has the media in Scotland become cowed into submission? (he has the reputation of being a bully). Are all the Opposition MSPs incompetent or ineffectual?
Even from hundreds of miles away I can spot this man is a clown!

PS for the record although I am English I regard both England and Scotland as my collective country and I am not happy that a gang of political chancers, peddling a discredited philosophy of nationalism, is proposing to walk off with part of it.
