Ex-SNP leader Alex Salmond announces he is to stand for UK Parliament
by Irn Bru Mon Dec 08, 2014 12:06 pm
Former SNP leader and First Minister Alex Salmond has announced he is to stand for a seat at Westminster at next May's General Election.
He unveiled his candidacy for his party's nomination in the Gordon constituency at a meeting in Ellon.
The seat is currently held by retiring Lib Dem MP Sir Malcolm Bruce.
Mr Salmond said the north east of Scotland had been his "political home" since he entered representative politics.
He stood down as SNP leader and Scotland's first minister after the "Yes" campaign was defeated in September's independence referendum.

Quite right too Eck. Get back in there and make sure they deliver on the pledges they made prior to the IndyRef.
