ALEX Salmond has closed the Alba party conference with a speech that called on pro-independence MPs to obstruct the procedures of Westminster.
Speaking to delegates at the Albert Halls in Stirling the former First Minister said that the “gradualism” of the SNP’s approach to independence was no longer working.
He called on SNP MPs to “play Parnell” with Westminster, referring to the Irish nationalist MP Charles Stewart Parnell who drew attention to Irish issues in the 19th century by using the technical procedures of parliament to disrupt the Commons’ ability to function.
