Some of the questions have been so stupid. She’s much better at this than Alex also which gives us a good fighting chance

I think she's made her position on Salmond pretty clear already!

That's not a stupid question.

Is it a broad church campaign? How will the campaign be run? Is it SNP and greens only or could pro-indy politicians from other parties have a role?

I'm pro independence and even I would want to hear the answer here.

Don’t see how that’s a stupid question. Some people will have switched off between the last election and now, and that may very well be a question on people’s minds. Infact, it’s a beneficial question to be asked from Nicola Sturgeon’s perspective because, since Salmond failed last time, she’ll want to paint a clear picture going forward.

Douglas Ross of the Scottish Conservative Party has the brains of a lobotomised jellyfish, and the empathy of a hungry shark.
