Celtic Alliance Position
Historic proponent. As SNP leader, Salmond co-signed the "Celtic Alliance" agreement with Plaid Cymru's Ieuan Wyn Jones in March 2010 — agreeing SNP and Plaid Cymru would cooperate to maximise influence in the event of a hung parliament after the 2010 general election.
Since leaving the SNP and founding the Alba Party, Salmond has continued to advocate for closer relations between the Celtic nations, though Alba's focus has been primarily on Scottish independence.
