The chances of Harvie and Slater getting off the gravy train are slim. After the whole DRS debacle she should have been sacked.

They may be hedging their bets til a General Election & see how Labour do, what Labour have to offer, despite the Greens being mainly pro-Independence, wee Harvie likes to be heard.

There was an Indy march today in Glasgow but they seem to have padded the numbers out by including a load of Palestine marchers too.

he is bricking it in case he is pulled off the gravy train. Utter disgrace to the Green Party. How Lorna Slater ever got into that position is a mystery, she is thick as mince.

The SNP getting into bed with the Greens has been a disaster for them.
Trying to pass crazy bills & policies through Holyrood, not to mention puberty blockers for youngsters

Patrick Harvie said he'd resign as leader of the Greens if his party voted to end power-sharing, but Humza got there first by binning them.
Probably a "get-out" for wee Harvie now, he'll remain as leader.
I do wonder how the vote would have went.

Exactly my thoughts on Harvie. It will be interesting to see what he does.

It always felt a little odd that a party who’s entire case for economic independence was based around extraction of North Sea oil would ally to a party who wants to stop it. Do the Greens not understand that had independence been achieved they would have been discarded like a turd down the express flush?

I will be grinning from ear to ear when and if the SNP rely on Tory support to pass the legislation to scrap the 2030 target.

I thought The Fish wouldn't cooperate with the Tories in any way under any circumstances?

It's a either a measure of the success of the SNP or the shortcomings of their supporters, that a parochial narrow nationalist party convinced so many that they are in fact progressive.
