First off the Fmr FM himself. Who amongst other things was accused of attempted rape and tried in a criminal court. And whilst he wasn’t convicted, his lawyer admitted his behaviour wasn’t appropriate, and his accusers maintain their story.
He is not an ally of woman. (2/)

Next up is Chris McEleny, the lead candidate in West Scotland.
He has defended conversion therapy when Patrick Harvie called out the Catholic Church being linked to groups & has also implied that trans deaths aren’t tragic.
He is a danger to the LGBT community. (3/)

The sportsman, Alba’s Alex Arthur, whose described beggars as “pigs”. If Alba still support him after this, it definitely puts into question their commitment to challenging systemic issues of poverty & bigotry.

Candidate Jim Walker has called the FM “a cow”. Is he really someone we want setting an example for us in holyrood? (5/)
Lynne Anderson has been accused of supporting anti-trans organisations, and denying trans people’s rights to exist. Evidently the embodiment of a progressive party.. (6/) https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/12/01/snp-equalities-convenor-lynne-anderson-lgb-alliance-jk-rowling-for-women-scotland/
Margaret Lynch has blatantly accused LGBT organisations of being pedophiles, that says enough in itself, but clearly she’s nuts & dangerous. (7/)
Another SNP NEC defect, Caroline McAllister too has bought into 1980s homophobia and transphobia, and likely has a tin foil hat to compliment this. She cannot be allowed into SP and is a threat to human rights. (8/)
Eva Comrie who has compared gender identification to Jews being forced to wear the Star of David in the Holocaust

Neale Hanvey, an MP, who before even getting elected was suspended from the SNP because of anti Semitic comments he had made. (10/) https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18278188.snp-suspend-anti-semitism-row-mp-neale-hanvey-six-months/
Kenny MacAskill, another former SNP MP has wrote for and supports WingsOverScotland (alongside most other Alba candidates) - an account banned from social media for spreading hate, bigotry & misinformation. (11/)
Conclusions: this probably isn’t an exhaustive list of the problematic candidates they’ve fielded & it’s definitely not exhaustive of what candidates listed have said.
What’s clear is Alba poses a threat to progressive values, independence and human rights. #BothVotesSNP (12/)
