Salmond sets out 'winning vision' | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond has delivered his vision for victory at the Scottish election. | |
Addressing the annual conference in Perth, he said the party was "alive, kicking and winning". | |
Mr Salmond, who is bidding to return to Holyrood as an MSP, also claimed that support for Scottish independence was at an all time high. | |
He set out his plans for health, education and the economy in a hall packed with hundreds of delegates. | |
Mr Salmond told the conference that that party had a "dramatic six months" ahead, before the Holyrood elections next May. | |
The MP said: "Today we ride on the crest of a wave - this time, in our time - there shall be change for Scotland." | |
He continued: "Two years ago when Nicola (Sturgeon) and I came to lead this party, I told this conference that I was not here to go through the motions, but back to rid Scotland of a small-minded managerial administration and to deliver a vision capable of touching the very soul of Scotland. | |
"I am standing for first minister and we are running to win." | |
