Salmond to move onto the national stage

If Alex Salmond and the UK's other nationalists wants to join a UK-wide debate...

ALEX Salmond is demanding a podium place in any TV debate between the main party leaders ahead of next year's general election, and has not ruled out court action to get his way.

The SNP leader and First Minister is to write to broadcasters to make sure both he and leaders of other smaller parties take part in any UK-wide programme.

...then I really think we, as Unionists, should do all in our power to oblige them.
