Portillo on Alex Salmond - Part 2/6

Love him or loathe him, Alex Salmond has been a towering figure in Scottish politics for 25 years.
Former Conservative Minister, Michael Portillo, wants to know the story behind the politician, and what has made him one of the most succesful and recognisible Scottish politicians in the world.

Following the 2011 Scottish election campaign, Portillo on Salmond covers four of the most important weeks in Alex Salmond's life, as he attempts to make history and become First Minister for a second term.

Throughout the campaign and across Scotland, the film watches Alex Salmond take his message to the streets and across the airwaves. But who exactly is he? And what lies ahead for the leader, his party and the country?

Hi Glasgow1234,

Thanks for uploading this - I'm outside UK so can't use iPlayer.

It would be great to see part 3 if you have it too!

Thumbs up if you are going to vote YES to Scottish Independence !

From and Englishman, please VOTE YES. We will never get asked if we want to leave the Union, and many of us want to, hope Salmond can win.

This so called bbc documentary which is fronted by a notorious tory is nothing more than an underhand attack at Mr Salmond as it's basically Mr Portillo's opinions put forward as fact! Disgraceful!

I'm a Scotsman and I say yes to Independence
