Election 2026: Only Scottish Greens offer change Scotland needs
With one year until the next Holyrood elections, only the Scottish Greens are offering the “real, hopeful” and “transformative” change that Scotland needs, says Greens co-leader Lorna Slater.
Ms Slater said:
“Scotland faces a crucial choice, and it is only the Scottish Greens who are offering the real, hopeful and transformative change that our communities need.
“The SNP are retreating from climate action and rolling back on promises they have made, while Labour has opted to target pensioners and disabled people with cruel cuts that go further than the Tories.
“We have shown that we can get results. From free bus travel for young people to the biggest expansion of free school meals and a real living wage for all Scottish Government contractors, we are standing up for workers and families and putting money back in people’s pockets.
“We have worked for our environment, with record funding for climate action, nature restoration and walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure to make our streets safer and greener for everyone.
“Without Green voices in the room, this would not have happened. With more Green MSPs we can do far more for people and planet.
“It will be a crucial election. Our planet is on fire, people are struggling with costs going up and household budgets being stretched to their limit.
“Every vote for the Scottish Greens will be a vote for a fairer, greener and independent future for Scotland, and a rejection of the toxic and punishing policies coming from Westminster.
“Scotland can’t afford five more years of business as usual. The Scottish Greens are the only party offering the change that Scotland needs and deserves.”
