ALBA have accused the BBC of “blocking” their party political broadcast in what the party said highlights a "democratic deficit" in their treatment.
With two MPs, Alex Salmond’s party said it had enough political representation to justify being given an advert on the BBC, but are being denied the opportunity.
Alba were allowed to broadcast their party political broadcast in the run-up to the local elections earlier this year, in which they lost a number of councillors and were left with no representation on any local authorities in Scotland.
