'The only coalitions we should be organising are with Scottish Nationalists' - Alex Salmond
Former First Minister Alex Salmond is calling on the SNP and Scottish Greens to help create a independence convention where each constituency would field just one pro-independence candidate at the next UK general election.
“I have no doubt that such a move would result in the election of a significantly larger contingent of nationalist MPs to deliver on that mandate, than would be the case if the election is conducted in the usual fashion. “Why are we trying to organise coalitions with the British Establishment? The only coalitions we should be organising are with Scottish Nationalists – with the parties and the movement.
“To be most effective, this effort has to be co-ordinated. Right now there are moves under way to bring the national movement together. Alba will support, or indeed, if necessary, initiate these efforts. He also called for the SNP to “bin” the Bute House agreement between the SNPs and the Scottish Greens. Mr Salmond added: “The new First Minister does not understand the concept of universality.
“Meanwhile, the new First Minister needs to sort out his Government. Back in 2014 not even our most bitter opponent attempted to argue that the SNP Government did not run a competent administration at Holyrood.
