Alex Salmond

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 2 Feb 2014 at 04:40:08 (UTC)

Original – Alex Salmond of the Scottish National Party, Scotland's First Minister (equivalent of the PM) since 2007 is pictured here giving a speech at the National Conversation on 14 August 2007, which basically started the independence referendum process.

Reason

High quality photo and good EV. Scotland's holding an independence referendum this September and Salmond has been one the main figures of Scottish nationalism in the past 25 years. If Scots vote for independence, his significance will rise even more in the history of the British Isles.
