Better Day 5,766 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 “Scotland's former first minister Alex Salmond has re-entered frontline politics to become the new leader of the pro-independence Alba Party.” Source: https://news.sky.com/story/alex-salmond-to-become-leader-of-new-pro-independence-alba-party-12257381 He’s such a disgrace of a man. Hope his party flops badly. The only thing that will get us a referendum is having both votes SNP. Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksies 527 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 This is literally just revenge against Nicola at this point. This craziness will not be good for Scotland in the long run. Votes are likely going to be split as from what I hear he was quite popular back in the day. Wonder by how much though, that will be the question. He says he wants to get the votes from Tory/Labour voters in Scotland but that's not going to work exactly as people in those constituencies are typically pro-union and wouldn't back an independance party unless they're miraculously swayed. He's clearly targeting the SNP vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man has no moral compass and I fear the future of Scotland if Douglas Ross slithers his way to Bute House Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man has no moral compass and I fear the future of Scotland if Douglas Ross slithers his way to Bute House Yeah he's either being paid to do this or he's just purely out to destroy Nicola and make a bigger name for himself. As you know I'm more pro-union as I believe we are both stronger together but even I don't condone this and believe the people of Scotland need their say on Independance. Him doing this just damages independance and will delay any potential referendum as there is no way the SNP and Alba parties will work together in unity after what's happened between Alex and Nicola. I really feel sorry for you guys up north. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel sorry for you guys up north. As far as my knowledge is aware they are 4 pro-independence parties at the moment. This could derail the SNP majority to gain a referendum from the tories. I just hope the Scottish people are more wise than to trust this man especially after all he has done. Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear it would split the independence vote. That’s what happened in 2019, and how the tories got back into power. The tories have been rising in Scotland since 2017. Together You And I!
