The Scotsman - SSP pledge to shake-up parliament "Tommy Sheridan, the leader of the SSP, was as ever direct in his approach, vowing to launch a revolution that would "engulf" Scotland and put socialism back on the agenda across Europe.
While talking up the merits of an independent, socialist Scotland, he said getting rid of the council tax and providing free school meals to all children were two policies that were of primary concern to his party.
However, it was left to Mr Fox to offer a more thoughtful analysis of the likely future of the fringe candidates.
He said: "We know there was a protest vote because of the firefighters strike and the war in Iraq. When those issues begin to fade, it will be up to us to keep those voters by delivering on what we stand for and by operating with principle and honesty."
