The Scottish Greens promise to 'turbo charge' Scotland's journey to net zero.
The Scottish Greens have launched their 2024 election manifesto, in which they promise to "turbo charge" Scotland's journey to net zero with a call to invest £28bn a year in tackling climate change.Revoke licences for oil and gas exploration
The manifesto quotes the International Energy Agency which says new fossil fuel production must end now if global climate change targets are to be met. Their argument mirrors that of the SNP, namely that it should be up to Scots to decide when to have another vote. They also want to remove the UK government’s veto over Holyrood legislation, after the mechanism was used by the Scottish Secretary to prevent a new system of gender recognition being enacted in Scotland.
Since 2011, the Scottish government's treatment time guarantee has set out a legal obligation for health boards to provide inpatient and day case treatment for patients within 12 weeks of diagnosis. But in the latest quarterly statistics, only 56.7% of those patients had actually been seen within this timeframe.
This plants the party firmly on the left of politics, in case there was any doubt, with nationalisation of buses to broadband to Loganair's island air services. At least one Green proposal is likely to be considered by the next Westminster government, even if bigger parties won't admit it now: a system for charging drivers per mile for use of the road, to replace fuel duty revenue as petrol and diesel is extinguished.The Scottish Greens argue drugs possession should be decriminalised by the UK government and/or that the policy be devolved to Holyrood, so Scottish ministers have the power to change the law themselves.
