Salmond's vow to block Tories described as electoral “sabotage”
With days to go until the official start of the general election campaign in the UK, former First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, has announced he will block a return of a Conservative government and will help the Labour Party back into office in the event of another hung parliament in Westminster. However, the former SNP leader's words have unleashed criticism in political circles, which say his pledge is “deeply sinister” and an attempt to “sabotage” the will of the UK electorate. The SNP could win 43 of Scotland's 59 seats, making it the third-largest party in Westminster, say recent polls.
