	SNP, Alex Salmond and Stalinism
		In the same way once Salmond made his Kosovo outburst it couldn't be undone and both Salmond and the broader party knew that and that party loyalty would dictate that everybody would have to rally round the flag at least in the short term.
		My personal take on Alex Salmond is that he was used to being part of a very small clique at Westminster that was not under much of a media focus or scrutiny as they were a minor back bench faction.
		This gave him a freedom of action that would not normally be present for the leader of an opposition party who has to balance the interests of the various factions within a party to keep everybody in the loop and pushing in the same direction.
