He also backed the creation of a second chamber at Holyrood and spoke in favour of compulsory voting.The former SNP First Minister is contesting the election for his new pro-independence party Alba after a bitter fallout with his successor Nicola Sturgeon.The campaign has been dominated by sniping between the pair, with Sturgeon saying she will not work with her former mentor if he is elected.Salmond started his campaign by promising to be positive, claiming: “You won’t find a word of negativity coming off the lips of any Alba candidate as we progress that case for independence.”However, he appears to have ditched this.
