ALBA Party: “ With support for independence sitting so high whilst support for the SNP is falling to new lows, the next General Election must be fought as a Scotland United Pro-Independence Pact”
The new Poll which puts support for independence on 52.5% included responses after Nicola Sturgeon was arrested.
ALBA PARTY have welcomed the results of a new poll which shows a majority in support of Scottish independence.
In a survey by pollsters FindOutNow, commissioned by the pro-independence ALBA Party, of those that expressed a view 52.5% answered Yes to the question of “Should Scotland be an independent Country. This new poll is the second running placing independence above 50% following a MORI survey published last month.
ALBA Party Chair Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh has welcomed the results, stating that they reinforce her Party’s calls for the next General Election to be contested by Pro-Independence Parties under a Scotland United for Independence Banner.
ALBA want the SNP and the Greens to join with them and other pro Indy parties such as the Scottish Socialist Party to form this pro-independence pact at next year’s General Election, with a single independence candidate in each constituency.
Commenting ALBA Party Chair Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh said;
“ This latest poll shows that support for independence is high but we know from other recent polling that support for the SNP is falling backwards, with no realistic prospect of any immediate improvement.
“These results dramatically reinforce the ALBA Party proposal of a Scotland United pro-independence pact at the next General Election to ensure that independence doesn’t suffer a setback because of the tribulations of one political party.
“All participating parties in this YES alliance would stand under a prime manifesto commitment of seeking a popular mandate to begin independence negotiations with Westminster. To win the election for Scotland we need to be campaigning on independence not on party politics.
“ Only independence will deliver economic justice to the people of Scotland by ensuring that Scotland’s future is in Scotland’s hands.”
NB Find Out Now interviewed a total sample of 1,029 adults over the period 7th to 12th June.
Great news! SNP members would be wise to follow the leadership of Joanna and Angus Brendan. Together we’ll be clear of WM in no time
Imagine if we had a political leader who put our independence above narrow party interests.
The only people that are holding back the horses on independence is Sturgeons ex-cabal Humza and company. Britnat spys trying to throw a handgrinade into the Independence movement for their colonial masters. Let’s go for the next election AUOB and if the SNP won’t come along with us , we will stand candidates against them.
End colonialism and dissolve the Union.
Agree with the above comments and really encouraged by moves towards some unity in the YES movement
Scotland will become Independent when all the diverse currents pull together towards one aim. Agree with Ann rayner who says she is “really encouraged by moves towards some unity in the YES movement”
