Greens and SNP Have ‘Mandate to Deliver’ Second Independence Vote, Greer Insists
Ross Greer said the SNP and Greens won 73 pro-independence MSPs and have a mandate to seek another referendum.
- The SNP and Scottish Greens declared a 'significant mandate' for a second independence referendum on Friday, with Scottish Green co-leader Ross Greer insisting the Government must 'respect' voters' choice in Scotland.
- Pro-Independence parties secured 73 MSPs in the Scottish Parliament, the highest ever, with the SNP winning 58 seats and the Greens securing a record 15 MSPs. This positions John Swinney to lead the largest party and remain First Minister.
- Health Secretary Neil Gray argued the Government 'should not stand in the way' of the public's will, yet Health Secretary Streeting previously stated Westminster would refuse a second referendum even if the SNP wins a majority.
- Scots backed the Greens to 'stand up to bullies' in Reform after the party promised to site detention centers in Green-voting constituencies. Greer said people 'wanted the whole country to see you can stand up to bullies.'
- Party leaders remain committed to full European Union membership, though opponents highlight economic risks, warning 'If you think Brexit was bad, imagine what Scexit would do.' This shapes the broader constitutional debate.
