		The arrival of the Scottish Parliament revived his political passion, though he considered that most MSPs were "too comfortable for the good of themselves and their country".
		He was one of a declining number of politicians who have held the unusual distinction of being twice elected to Westminster inside a year.
		Leader of the Scottish National Party, Alex Salmond MP, commented: "Douglas Henderson was hugely influential as a trail blazer for SNP success in the North-east of Scotland and along with Winnie Ewing and Hamish Watt created the bridge head by winning East Aberdeenshire which lead eventually to SNP domination in that part of Scotland.

		Wilson can be characterised as a SNP Fundamentalist, although more of the old style rather than the new breed who tend to be firmly on the left of the party, with Wilson being more moderate in opinion.

		Gordon (67) - if the poll was carried out in the Central Belt then it's EVEN MORE REASON to be excited because the majority of "die hard nationalists" don't live in the Central Belt, they live in the North East of Scotland which you would know if you looked at the SNP's election results.
		Scottish Opinion's track record is terrible, In 2003 they predicted the SNP would get 31% of the first vote and 36% of the second vote and we all remember what actually happened.

		My Scottish friends who’ve been living in England for many years say they are embarrassed by the open dislike of the English that’s emanating from Scotland and slowly but surely, it’s starting to affect their lives in the community.
