AFI leaders work out next move after Alex Salmond leads Alba takeover

THE NEC of Action for Independence (AFI), the fledgling pro-independence party that launched the “Max the Yes” concept for the Holyrood election, was due to consider its next moves last night after the launch of Alex Salmond’s Alba Party. Members were notified by email after Alba’s launch that its list candidates for the May 6 poll would be stood down amid developments that had been a “game changer” for AFI. They were told: “That is a great compliment to all of you who have pioneered the ‘Max the Yes’ concept and the drive for a ‘supermajority’ in May.” An email from Salmond was also copied in to them thanking them for preparing the groundwork: “I recognise that you were there first and Alba hope to carry the torch of independence forward into the next Scottish Parliament.”

Appeal judges are hearing the case brought by independence campaigner Martin Keatings on behalf of the Forward As One group, in which he is asking the court to declare the Scottish Parliament already has the power to legislate for indyref2 without “consent” from Westminster.

Appeal judges are hearing a case brought forward by Martin Keatings on behalf of the Forward As One group, asking the court to declare the Scottish Parliament has the power to legislate for another vote.
