Scottish Greens warns that Nicola Sturgeon’s replacement must honour her agreement with it
Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Scottish Greens co-leader, Lorna Slater, said the new SNP leader must accept the government partnership agreement “as a whole, for us to continue to work together”.
Ms Slater on Sunday highlighted that the pursuit of gender self-ID is part of Greens’ agreement to form a government with the SNP. She said she “couldn’t imagine any leader of a pro-independence party” accepting the blocking of a law by Westminster that was passed by a vote in Scotland.The gender self-ID issue damaged Ms Sturgeon’s credibility in the weeks before she quit in February after a rapist, Isla Bryson, came out as transgender and was initially sent to a women’s prison.
