Scottish Greens say they would rejoin an SNP administration

Speaking to PA, Ross Greer said the Scottish Greens would join an SNP government again, arguing that voters expect parties to collaborate to achieve results. While the Greens would cooperate on common ground, they plan to oppose the SNP vigorously on matters such as data-centre development and the party’s shift toward oil and gas. Greer highlighted the Greens’ surge to 15 seats, just behind Labour’s 17, and a membership of over 11,000, which he believes now surpasses Labour’s. He suggested the Greens could become the principal opposition in one outlet Parliament and aim to double their council seats, targeting the City of Edinburgh Council next year. Greer also opened the possibility of attracting members from other parties whose values align more closely with the Greens, leaving final decisions to local branches and the national council.
