The SNP-Green coalition - known as the Bute House Agreement - has been criticised after it failed to implement key policies.
The Scottish Green Party has claimed that its under-fire coalition with the SNP has prevented a Westminster "assault" on the environment. The party claimed that the Tories' and Labour’s "culture war" against climate proves how crucial Scottish Greens being in Government is.
Scottish Greens climate spokesperson Mark Ruskell said: “Both the Tories and Labour seem intent on running headlong into a climate catastrophe by scrapping protections and climate action while doubling down on supporting fossil fuels and big business. Don’t they have televisions, don’t they read news sites, can’t they see Canada is ablaze as Hawaii is smouldering while deaths rise?
Scottish politics “It is thanks to the Bute House Agreement, particularly because of having the Scottish Greens in government, that we have stood firm against this assault on not just our environment, but on common sense. Labour Shadow Scotland Secretary Ian Murray said: “As the father of the Green Party, Robin Harper, has said, the Green Party is no longer green but only about independence.
