Largely funded by Salmond true believers and transphobes in narrative, so no surprise with Salmond in the ground and Swinney changing his tune on trans rights. But I also suspect a schism that cost the SNP last Holyrood election at least a few seats. And, a place to show dissatisfaction with the handling of independence, they also regularly spoke out against the Scottish Government. Reportedly with 5,000 members also. Making this a mixed bag for a party dissapearing in Scotland, we are both richer (mostly) and poorer (slightly) for the loss of The Alba Party (2021-2026)

Huh. Well I hadn't heard much from them in a while

While I am firmly entrenched in the camp that Alba is (or was, now, lol) a bunch of raging arseholes, I do still hold that it feels like "conservative pro-indy" is something of an obvious gap in the market in Scottish politics. Alba seemed like they were trying to fill that. Maybe it's less of a position than I think it is, but with the likes of Forbes in the SNP it definitely exists
