Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon says Scottish Labour are learning lessons from Salmond's victory at the 2007 Holyrood election - and how he governed.
His SNP beat them in 2007 and set Labour on the path to over a decade of electoral humiliation and irrelevance.
But as Scots Labour leader Anas Sarwar eyes becoming First Minister in 2026, it is Salmond’s rise to power he is studying.This is almost a replica of the Salmond playbook between 2004 and 2007 where the SNP in opposition became a government-in-waiting. The former First Minister decoupled voting SNP from independence by promising a referendum at a later date.
