Angus MacNeil sits as the independent MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar after being expelled from the SNP in AugustThe SNP’s annual conference is set to kick off on Sunday, with a motion on independence strategy proposed jointly by First Minister Humza Yousaf and SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn set to be debated by members.
However, Angus MacNeil – who sits as the independent MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar after being expelled from the SNP in August – said the strategy was “ill-thought through”."There will not be a referendum. That route is blocked. You've got to use an election to get a majority of the people.”However, following the end of the suspension MacNeil refused to rejoin the SNP’s Westminster group saying he would only do so when the party showed urgency on the issue of independence.
"I don't think it's a given they will end up with fewer seats, but if they carry on with the policies they have, they will.the Alba Party said they would not stand a candidate in MacNeil’s constituency at the next General Election Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
