Scottish Greens hit record high with 10,000 members
With a membership of over 10,000, the Scottish Greens have hit a record high.
Over 2500 have joined the party over recent months, with branches growing all over the country.
The Greens have long overtaken the Scottish Tories and Liberal Democrats in size, and have called for Scottish Labour to publish their membership numbers.
The party’s Co-leader, Gillian Mackay MSP, said:
“This is a big milestone for our party, and I am grateful to everyone who has joined our movement.
“All over Scotland, there are more and more people demanding bold change, and the Scottish Greens are the only party offering it.
“Whether it is the cost of living crisis or the climate emergency, it’s clear that we need radical action and an end to business as usual.
“Voting for the Scottish Greens makes a big difference. It is Green MSPs and Green members who have delivered free bus travel for everyone under 22, removed peak rail fares, secured record investment in nature and scrapped school meal debt.
“It is time for Labour to show the same transparency as we have by opening their books and finally being honest about their membership figures.
“With more people joining every day, we are going into this election on a high and are working to ensure more Green votes and more Green MSPs than ever before.”
