European Free Alliance
Plaid retains close links with the Scottish National Party, with both parties' MPs co-operating closely with one another. They work as a single group within Westminster, and were involved in joint campaigning during the 2005 General Election campaign. Both parties are part of the European Free Alliance group in the European Parliament, a nationalist and regionalist bloc of parties. The EFA works with the European Green Party in order to form a grouping in the European Parliament: the Greens - European Free Alliance.
