Green co-leader Lorna Slater, who was sacked from Government earlier this year, said the SNP cannot take her party's support for granted.
Scottish Greens would “absolutely” be willing to bring down the SNP Government by voting against their Budget. Party co-leader Lorna Slater rejected claims her hardball position is motivated by getting back at the SNP for ditching them from Government.
John Swinney now leads a minority Government and Holyrood watchers believe the Greens are his only real option for the Budget. She added: “We are fully prepared to vote against an unacceptable Budget, but as previously we go into it in good faith.” Put to her she was “settling scores” over the ending of the Bute House Agreement, she said this was “absolutely not” the case. The Greens are also pushing for higher taxes on private jets, mansions and businesses that sell alcohol.
