Brian Nugent is a
Scottish nationalist. Formerly a member of the
Scottish National Party (SNP)
(having been a parliamentary candidate at one stage), he left in
late
2003 and announced he was
forming the
Scottish Party in early
2004. A decision was subsequently taken to
rename it the
Free Scotland Party.
He cited
dissatisfaction with the SNP's line on the
European Union (EU) as
the reason for his resignation, and will run under the
Free
Scotland Party banner in the 2005 elections to the
Orkney and Shetland Westminster seat in
the General Election on May 5, on a platform of removal of Scotland
from both the
United Kingdom and the EU.
Mr. Nugent has
(tongue-in-cheek) promised state funding for his home town football
team
Albion Rovers F.C. should his party win
power.
