Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie has said he "honestly does not know" if his party will stay in government with the SNP. Green members are to vote on whether to end a power-sharing deal with the SNP after it scrapped key climate change targets. Mr Harvie told BBC Scotland it would be his preference to remain in government where the party could achieve more. The Greens are to hold an extraordinary general meeting to decide the issue. The BBC understands it is expected to hear a single motion on "whether the party continues to co-operate with the Scottish government or not". … www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-68869020Difficult to give a shit tbh … both parties are fucking clownshows.

Mr Harvie was also asked about the Cass Review in England in which paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass said children had been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions in gender care.
As a result, Scotland's only specialist gender clinic, the Sandyford, paused prescribing puberty blockers to children.
Green MSP Ross Greer has described the report as a "transphobic, conservative document".
When asked on The Sunday Show if he accepted that the Cass report was a valid scientific document, Mr Harvie said: "I've seen far too many criticisms of it to be able to say that.
"The decision that was made last week was not a government decision. It was made by individual clinicians."
SNP MSP Michelle Thomson said Mr Harvie's response was "unbelievable".
"It is, in effect, a form of science denialism," she said. "That's heading towards the world of Trump.
"Nobody who had read and understood the report could not agree it was entirely evidence-based and scientific from someone who is extremely well regarded as a leading academic and paediatrician in their field.
"The Greens need to decide that within their role in the Scottish government they either respond to evidence - even if they don't agree or are disappointed or dismayed by its findings - or they don't. If they don't, I cant see how it won't call into question the Bute House agreement. "I don't think that we should continue in partnership with the Greens."

It’s not easy to stay in a coalition with a Green Party. Ask the ALP in Australia, which is the centre-left party. They weren’t together long. The Greens are too extreme, and not willing to compromise.

The Greens are too extreme, and not willing to compromise. At the moment the 'traffic light coalition' in Germany has more problems with the liberal partner FDP than with the Greens.

Could be worse. At least Yousaf hasn't been arrested yet.
