Alba leadership to argue against Nato membership for independent Scotland

Alba's Chris McEleny, inset, has argued Scotland should not seek to re-join Nato after independence

THE thorny question of whether Scotland should seek to re-join Nato after independence will be debated by Alba members at their party conference later in the year.

The party’s general secretary Chris McEleny has put forward a motion to the conference, due to be held in three weeks’ time, which states Scotland should not reapply for membership of the military alliance after a Yes vote.
