Alba will announce their GE candidates at the weekend. They will receive the greatest support if they target those seats where the sitting MP or main candidate is not a supporter of independence? Standing against good people who have already declared will not do them any good.
@BillDunblane Did they say that they would?
@BillDunblane Not sure this is true. Some ALBA candidates are already in place, others aren't. So don't expect an announcement this weekend.
@BillDunblane The SNP are a devolutionist party and those in it agree by their membership that unionism is superior to Scottish independence. Alba have every democratic right to stand against as many as possible.
@BillDunblane That’s an unfair comment. If Alba made their intention known to stand a candidate in a seat and a member resigned as a result of that information, then declared first then first dibs does not cut it.
@BillDunblane "They will receive the greatest support if they target those seats where the sitting MP or main candidate is not a supporter of independence?" You understand 95% of current SNP MP's would be targets? Because very few of them spoke against the SNP's totally ineffective Indy Plan
