Greens can overtake Labour and Tories
With growing momentum and record polling, the Scottish Greens can transform Scotland's politics by beating Labour and Tories this May, says the party’s co-leader Gillian Mackay.
Speaking ahead of her party’s Spring Conference in Glasgow, Gillian said the Greens are the only ones offering the change that Scotland needs to tackle the cost of living crisis and protect our planet.
Speaking ahead of the conference, Gillian said:
“We are only 75 days away from the most crucial election in the history of our parliament, and the polls show we are on route for a historic result.
“With Labour plunging itself into civil war and disappointing people on every front, and with the Tories in freefall, there are communities all over Scotland looking for something different.
“This can be the election where we overtake the broken old Westminster parties and provide the green change that Scotland badly needs.
“I am proud of our record of introducing free bus travel for young people, removing peak rail fares, ensuring free school meals for thousands more children and securing a system of rent controls to protect households and families across our country.
“With more MSPs we can do more to put money in people’s pockets, transform our country and build the fairer, greener and independent Scotland that I know we can be.
“Scotland deserves better, and we are the only party offering it.
“Every vote for the Scottish Greens will be a vote to cut bills, support the many people being hammered by Westminster’s cost of living crisis and protect our planet.”
