The Scottish Government is holding “urgent” talks to prevent a plot by unelected Lords to give Westminster the power to overturn rules made by the Scottish Parliament – with minimal scrutiny or accountability
, when they passed new laws that gave them the power to veto decisions made by our elected Parliament in a way that would not have been possible just a few short years ago.
Chris McEleny, the general secretary of the Alba Party, said the revelation should “serve as a wake-up call" to the independence movement. “This latest assault on Scotland, our Scottish Parliament and devolution itself should serve as a wake-up call to the independence movement. Enough is enough.“It’s time to put Scotland first before the needs of political parties and fight the next General Election as ‘Scotland United’ to seek a mandate to enter straight into independence negotiations with the UK Government.”
He said:"At this stage, following discussions with the Scottish Government, the provisions for Scotland do not include this same consent mechanism for matters relating to devolved legislative competence, and the UK Government retain the ability to legislate in areas of devolved competence for Scotland, subject to a duty to consult.
