Co-leader Lorna Slater said the SNP Government would have to consider tax rises.
The SNP will need to make “uncomfortable commitments” to gain the support of the Scottish Greens for the Budget, Lorna Slater has said. The Greens’ co-leader said her party will require the Government to make promises similar to those made in the Bute House Agreement .
Speaking to the PA news agency on Friday ahead of the Scottish Greens’ conference in Greenock at the weekend, Slater said her party is willing to work with the Government on its Budget. “We’re willing to go into negotiations on the Budget with an open mind,” she said. The BHA ended earlier this year and then first minister Humza Yousaf sacked Ms Slater and Mr Harvie from his government in a move which ultimately led to his own resignation. The SNP failed to return a majority of MSPs in 2021 and relied on the Greens to form a majority.
