Top Sturgeon aide backs Salmond s Alba Party ONE of Nicola Sturgeon’s most trusted former advisers has backed voting for Alex Salmond’s new Alba Party. Noel Dolan, Ms Sturgeon’s senior special adviser and policy guru while she was deputy First Minister, said it would improve the odds of a pro-independence Holyrood. The endorsement comes in spite of the First Minister accusing list-only Alba of trying to game the Holyrood electoral system and asking people to give both their votes to the SNP. Mr Salmond, who is due to set out a route map to independence this afternoon, says Alba can mop up list votes that would otherwise be “wasted” if they went to the SNP, given their strength in constituencies makes it harder for them to get top-up MSPs.
