HUMZA Yousaf has said he “wouldn’t rule out a Holyrood election” as he faces votes of no confidence in the Scottish Parliament.
Today the First Minister was in fightback mode stating he wont resign and he intends to win the votes.Speaking to Channel 4 News, on a visit in Dundee, he denied the day when he sacked the Greens and ended the Bute House agreement was the ‘beginning of the end’. The First Minister said minority government will be “tough” but he is “concentrating on the priorities of the people”.Yousaf said the opposition was playing “political games” and said the SNP was elected as the biggest party at Holyrood by a “considerable distance”.
"As part of that, I’m writing to all of the political parties - not just the party groups - to say let’s have a discussion about how we make minority government work because it also includes not just the government actions but depends on the actions of the opposition acting in good faith instead of playing political games.”
