The SNP’s youth wing has rebelled over plans for a U-turn on the party’s historic opposition to Nato membership.
The group said its membership had reached a “clear and united decision” to support a rival amendment to a motion backed by Alex Salmond that an independent Scotland would retain Nato membership.
David Linden, national convener of the SNP Youth, said its national executive committee had voted to support the alternative that Scotland should withdraw Nato membership altogether when the motion comes before the party conference this autumn.
