Where We Stand

INDEPENDENCE

Restoring Scotland's Independence is the number one priority of the ALBA Party.

The Westminster parties have all refused to allow Scotland to hold a second independence referendum, but it is not in their power to halt the march of Scottish democracy.

All we need is a democratic vote, giving the Scottish Parliament the mandate to begin Independence negotiations with Westminster, and the 2026 Scottish elections can be that vote.

WE DO NOT NEED WESTMINSTER'S PERMISSION

THE 2026 SCOTTISH ELECTIONS

The Westminster establishment will not allow the Scottish Parliament to hold an independence referendum. It's now up to the Scottish National Movement to make the 2026 elections our referendum on Scotland's future.

Every voter gets two votes in Scottish elections, the Constituency vote and the Regional List vote.

ALBA have proposed that the Regional List vote should be used as a vote on Scottish independence. A majority of votes for independence supporting parties would constitute a mandate for the Scottish Government to begin independence negotiations with Westminster
