    After voters rejected a referendum for Scotland to become an independent nation (September 18, 2014), he announced his resignation from his position as Scottish First Minister and leader of the Scottish Nationalists.

    He was an outspoken critic of the Iraq War.
    He has advocated for environmentally conscious policies and technology.
