, said Alba and his former party should not stand rival candidates in his Western Isles constituency in a bid to “maximise the votes for independence”.when he refused to take back the whip after he was suspended from the party because he was said to have missed key votes.and would be expected to be receptive to MacNeil’s calls for unity among independence-supporting parties.
In his letter to the SNP and Alba leaders, MacNeil wrote: “As you know times have not been great recently for the parties of independence. “The most obvious way to do that is not to have another party candidate, in this constituency and other constituencies, aping the principal candidate's message and splitting the vote, which would have the likely unfortunate result of damaging the reputation of your parties.
