Pretty humiliating for the Green Party to be party to a government that abandons targets around the policy area that is its existential reason for being.
Don’t underestimate how good it feels to be driven around in a ministerial car though! Harvie and co will croak but keep their tasty jobs.
Will he actually turn green?
Getting Lib Dem / Tory coalition vibes from this. The risk of being the minor partner, there’s always the chance you’ll be screwed over.
I don’t think I’ve known a man or a party hated more than Harvie and the greens, whether you are for or against independence! He lives in another universe of sunshine and roses!
Watch him channel that anger into doing absolutely nothing about it.
But the Greens are the ones in charge according to May unionist supporters!
Oh dear, never fight but wrong again!
Yes, I’m very sure he’s shocked and angry that a goal – impossible to meet with our current level of technology without plunging the nation into an economic collapse from which it would never recover and which would see it’s citizens standard of living obliterated – was not delivered.
I’m sure it was something he definitely expected would happen, no problem, and it wasn’t at all a meaningless claim made to justify taking up a role in government while trying to appear principled.
I’m sure he will be so angry, he’ll withdraw from government immediately…
So angry that he’s going to go along with it entirely.
Glad he’s been put in his place with his stupid unworkable and completely pointless ideas.
No doubt he’ll throw a strop and do something equally stupid and side with labour or some other unionist party and ditch independence out of spite.
Place is gonna be full of nuclear radiation soon enough.
I see Harvie often enough when I’m out and about. He’s not a fan of me. I will be winding him up next time I see him about all this.
That’s the tories, the SNP and the greens tactics : Blame the government, pretend the government isn’t you, act like you’re in opposition
He gets some power and blows it all.
Perhaps if, as a green politician, had focused on Green policies, energy research and consensus building in the parliament and society… ie made reducing fossil fuels and actual priority….this might not have happened.
But no. Trans rights. Rent Controls. Scotlands Own Bottle Recycling. Hate Crime Bullshit.
I’d say what a clown, but he’s done a lot of damage to a seriously important cause.
So I’m going to have to go with Hamster-faced Goon.
Labour have dropped every single pledge they made due to the sorry state of the economy so this is only the same knock on happening, hopefully labour turn it around and we can get more coffers for green projects.
That cunt’s always angry. Maybe if he’d focused on cooperation to meet our climate commitments instead of a social crusade, then he wouldn’t look like such a stupid sell-out now.
Well, if they win an election they can do something about it.
Not sure why a party with approx 5% of the vote would exp[ect to dictate policy.
Probably should have been angry for the last 3 years when your government did absolutely bugger all towards meeting those targets, Patrick! Bit late for throwing your toys out the pram now.
Failing to prepare the *legally required* plan last year should have been a resigning matter for you both.
Tiny tears can be as “angry” as he wants, guarantee him and the rest of his ilk will continue to collect those sweet government salaries and pretend to actually do their “jobs”
Kind of wonder if he was given the olive branch of the sudden ban on wood burning stoves a couple of weeks ago as compensation for this
Then give up your ministerial salary and leave the agreement.
So angry he’s quit in protest rather than be party to it!
Oh, he hasn’t? I don’t believe it!
Literally the most useless minister we’ve ever had. Absolute moron.
I have two options of heating the house – wood or oil. One of them is renewable. It’s also the one he doesn’t like.
Everything Andy Wightman said about the Scottish Greens had and is continuing to come to fruition. Patrick Harvie has no morals; if he did he would quit his ministerial position and speak to the co-convenor about the party leaving the governmental agreement.
Man had the audacity to have Lorna Slater appologise on his behalf during the height of the pandemic too. This man should try wearing a helmet when he’s cycling around the Glasgow’s west end, middle class twat.
At this point what even are the Scottish Greens other than tacitcal indy votes and SNP light?
