SCOTISH Green members are set to vote on whether to remain in government with the SNP after debate has gradually increased in both party’s…
, with calls from members for a debate about the way forward while SNP leader and First Minister Humza Yousaf told reportersWe spoke with both Greens and SNP members to hear their thoughts while a date for an Emergency General Meeting for Greens is decided after it wasDid they initially support the Bute House Agreement ? Do they wish to see a complete ditch of the coalition? Do SNP members also want a say? Will Greens hear out their leadership?“I voted for the BHA but it hasn't worked out...
“Further to this, in most cases of a coalition, the senior partner benefits electorally, and the junior partner suffers, as we saw with the Tory Lib Dem coalition, and I felt confident the BHA would do the same for the SNP. The opposite has happened, with the Greens going up in the polls, and the SNP coming down.
“Circumstances have changed, we should be allowed to re-examine a democratic decision taken before circumstances changed, I’m sure I’ve heard that before somewhere.” –“I'm very disappointed by the slow progress made on Scotland's climate targets, which has caused them to be abandoned. Having ‘Greens in the room’ appears to have had little effect, yes we got free bus travel for under 25s but everything else appears to either been derailed or vetoed.
“I firmly believe that being part of the Government provides us with a much stronger voice and influence than outside the government if the Greens were not in government. “Coalitions in my experience don’t work. It’s a shame and I am all for the environment and sympathise with a lot of the green policies and appreciate their support for indy but they have dragged down the independence cause in my opinion.” –Scottish Green party co leaders Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater with Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing, Economy, Net Zero and Energy Mairi McAllan
“I firmly believe that the BHA should be honoured and I don’t blame the Scottish Greens voting on the future. I also firmly believe that the SNP and Scottish Government should reverse these betrayals before it’s too late.” –We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
