You'll note that I have deleted the tweet about the Alba list likely being full. I did so because the intention was to simply show that's likely the case. It wasn't so some people could take it and twist it and use it as a stick to beat other yes supporters with.
Let me be clear. The screenshot was from an AFI meeting, not one of ALBA. Also, all it said was list full and no approaches had been made by ALBA.
AFI candidates stood down to clear the way for ALBA knowing we'd be floating and WITHOUT EXPECTATION OF BEING ADOPTED.

Would the adoption of some of the candidates from AFI by ALBA have been cool, well yeah. But there was no expectation of such and trying to insinuate that ALBA conveyed such sentiments is simply not true. Correlation is not causation!
The only purpose of the tweet was to stop the many messages I was getting asking me if I had been approached by ALBA. Which I haven't been - and there was no expectation of. To put it to bed that there was any ever expectation of that happening - which there wasn't.
We stepped down because it was the right thing to do. To allow the maxtheyes message to be pushed forward by the party with the most clout. And that's it.
