From left: Patrick Harvie, Humza Yousaf, and Lorna Slater after reaffirming the Bute House Agreement between the Greens and SNPTHE Scottish Greens are facing internal calls for an emergency meeting to discuss the continuation of the governing agreement with theScottish Green Party councillor Chas Booth has written to the party’s executive, demanding an extraordinary general meeting be held “as soon as reasonably possible to consider withdrawing from the Bute House Agreement”.
"With the council tax freeze, climate targets scrapped, and MSPs who run rampant with transphobia, the SNP have shown a lot of contempt in the past year.Ultimately Scottish Green members decide if MSPs are in Government. The deal crucially gave the SNP a majority in the Scottish Parliament when its voters there were combined with those of the seven Green MSPs, but more recently figures in Humza Yousaf’s party, including former leadership candidate Kate Forbes and party stalwart Fergus Ewing, have criticised it.
He said there had been “anger” on a party members’ call on Thursday evening as a result of the Greens being “part of a Government abandoning climate targets”.
