BREAKING: A new political force has emerged in Scotland as the Alliance to Liberate Scotland (ALS) has officially been registered as a political party, confirmed by the Electoral Commission last week. This development allows ALS to stand candidates in the upcoming Scottish Parliament elections, igniting fresh momentum in the independence movement.
Brian Nugent, leader of the Sovereignty Party, warmly welcomed ALS, emphasizing a united front with both ALS and the Independence for Scotland Party (ISP). This coalition aims to promote “uncompromising action” on independence, energizing voters frustrated with the current political landscape. Nugent will stand as the Sovereignty candidate in Shetland.
“The SNP has repeatedly ignored the mandates given by hundreds of thousands of voters,” Nugent stated, citing that support for independence remains strong at around 45–48 percent, while the SNP’s voting intention lags at 31–35 percent. He believes there is an opportunity to capture an additional 20 percent of voters who are looking for a “dedicated, vigorous pro-independence alternative.”
“I welcome Liberate and look forward to working with ISP and Liberate to deliver Scottish independence,” Nugent affirmed. He criticized the SNP for failing to act decisively after securing a mandate for independence in the 2015 UK election. “They should have declared UDI (unilateral declaration of independence),” he added, reinforcing that this is now the coalition’s plan and intention.
This latest development is significant as it signals a potential shift in the dynamics of Scotland’s independence campaign, with voters seeking more assertive leadership. The newly formed coalition plans to contest constituencies and regional lists in the elections, aiming to galvanize support for their cause.
The urgency of this movement cannot be overstated, as disillusionment with the SNP’s leadership grows. As the elections approach, all eyes will be on how this coalition mobilizes support and whether they can convert their criticism into votes.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor this evolving situation in the Scottish political landscape, where the quest for independence has taken a new turn.
