ALEX Salmond’s support is slumping ahead of the UK general election and he faces being defeated at Holyrood in just over a year’s time, according to a major new poll published by Scotland on Sunday. The SNP has fallen a full 17 percentage points behind Labour on Scottish voting intentions for the Westminster election and is now just a single point ahead of the Conservatives.
