Scotland’s leader is facing a week of high-stakes talks to save his job and re-energize the country’s independence movement after he torpedoed a coalition with the Green Party by ditching a target for fighting climate change

FILE - Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf speaks during a press conference at Bute House, Edinburgh, April 25, 2024. Scotland’s leader is facing a week of high-stakes talks to save his job and reenergize the country’s independence movement after he torpedoed a coalition with the Green Party by ditching a target for fighting climate change.

“Hurt egos have destroyed countries before now, so it’s not exactly surprising that they are currently leading to the mess we’re in,’’ Murray Pittock, an expert on Scottish nationalism at the University of Glasgow, told The Associated Press. “And you can’t hurt people’s egos any more than by chucking them straight out of ministerial office with no warning and their entire party with them.

Founded in 2021 by former SNP leader and First Minister Alex Salmond, Alba sees itself as the true voice of Scottish independence. Alba’s only member of the Scottish Parliament is Ash Regan, who opposed Yousaf in the last SNP leadership election before defecting to Alba. “We have, obviously, to prepare that things don’t work out, in which case there could be an election in Scotland,” he told the BBC.

Sturgeon’s resignation came amid a police investigation into allegations that the party had misused money donated to fund a second independence referendum.
