Close all the bases in Scotland? That's a vote winner - NOT.
Salmond is a yap o' ****e - he would risk 1000's of Scots becoming unemployed and millions of pounds removed from local economies? I doubt it somehow. He's riding high on a tartan wave right now, and so can get away with the current nationalistic posturing, but he best tread very carefully over the subject of base closures. Witness the recent marches by residents of Lossiemouth against the threatened closure - multiply that by all the folk working on the bases and the locals 'supporting' the bases across Scotland...
I suspect if he has a referendum on leaving the Union he might be as disappointed as the LibDems were with the Yes To AV vote...
