One Question

A formal constitutional challenge has been filed. Legal proceedings are underway.
The current leadership has still not initiated a membership ballot. No substantive response to our legal indemnity has been received.
We note that the Director of Operations has emailed LACU treasurers attempting to claw back local funds. We regard this as an attempt to prevent local associations from supporting candidates in the May election.
We further note that Kenny MacAskill has emailed members with a statement containing several claims that are demonstrably false. We have published a full point-by-point rebuttal on our website.
The fight continues. The membership will be heard.

We have submitted a full legal indemnity. We have set out our constitutional authority. We have made clear that we are prepared to take on all responsibilities.
The current leadership has offered no substantive reason for refusing a ballot. The membership deserves better than silence and delay.
A ballot can be live within two hours. Every hour that passes without one is a deliberate choice to deny members their voice.
We call on all Alba members to make their voices heard. Sign the declaration at votealba.org. Tell the leadership: let the members decide.
