Time to bring back hope
Speaking 100 days before the Scottish Parliament elections, Scottish Green Co-leader Gillian Mackay said:
“This is one of the wealthiest societies there has ever been, but most people are not feeling the benefits of it.
“Instead, a small number of people and companies are getting richer while households and families all over our country are really struggling. Whether it is spiralling energy bills or the price of the weekly shop, it is becoming harder to get by.
“It’s no wonder that so much of the hope that people felt even a few years ago has gone. Scotland needs bold change, and the Scottish Greens are the only party offering it.
“We want to build a future for Scotland that works for our communities, families, workers and environment.
“We have already shown what we are capable of. It was the Scottish Greens who introduced free bus travel and opened up the country for young people, ended peak rail fares to support workers and students and scrapped school meal debt.
“With more MSPs we can and will do even more to cut the cost of living, deliver climate action that creates well paid green jobs in every community and stand against the politics of hate being peddled by parties like Reform.
“We aren’t shy about saying who will pay for it, it will be the super-rich, greedy landlords and tax avoiders. Scotland needs MSPs who will take on those who are making so many people’s lives so difficult and will make them pay for our solutions.
“With just 100 days until polling day, the Scottish Greens will continue to stand-up for a fairer, greener and independent Scotland that works for people and planet.”
