HUMZA Yousaf has said that voting for the Scottish Greens at the next General Election would be a “wasted vote”...
The Scottish Greens, meanwhile, hit back with MSP Ross Greer saying that people and the planet “don't have time to waste on voting for parties who are unwilling to take bold climate action”.
Asked whether he thought this was concerning for the SNP and whether it could split the pro-independence vote, Yousaf told The National that he had a “great amount of time” for the Scottish Greens.“Of course they're partners of ours in government,” he said – referring to the Bute House Agreement, which saw the Scottish Greens enter government in 2021 to prop up the SNP.
“Every vote for the Scottish Greens is a vote to put people and planet ahead of corporate profits and the greed of the super-rich. We are proud to give more voters than ever the chance to send shockwaves through Westminster by voting Scottish Greens this year.”The party’s co-leader said they were in favour of “political co-operation” and would try to work constructively with all Westminster parties.
