In their own words

Gillian Mackay (Co-Leader of the Scottish Greens; Central Scotland List MSP) · Cost of living & political hope

We know you're scunnered with politics at the moment, and we know you're looking for a bit of hope, we're going to offer that.

Patrick Harvie (Scottish Greens Glasgow List MSP) · Climate, tenants' rights & independence

With Greens in government we would be able to deliver positive change like tackling Scotland's emissions, protecting nature, advancing tenants' rights, bringing forward overdue equalities legislation and delivering an independence referendum.

Lorna Slater (Scottish Greens MSP for Edinburgh Central) · Green representation in government

The co-operation agreement we've negotiated would put Greens at the heart of decision-making at this crucial time and if our members endorse it then I look forward to driving change in government.
