Scottish Greens welcome Scotsman Savanta ComRes poll
Responding to the publication of the latest Scotsman – Savanta ComRes poll, which shows the Scottish Greens on course for a record result in May, Scottish Greens co-leader Lorna Slater said:
“This welcome poll is the latest in a long line that suggests the Scottish Greens can return a record number of MSPs in May. It’s clear that the public appreciate the constructive approach to opposition adopted by the Green MSPs, which has seen us punch well above our weight in parliament and deliver bold and transformative policies. We’ll continue to work constructively, pushing the government to build a fairer, greener Scotland.”
This poll is also now the 18th in a row to demonstrate popular majority support for independence.
Lorna Slater added:
“18 consecutive opinion polls have demonstrated majorities in favour of independence. Whether it’s the botched handling of the coronavirus crisis, the Brexit catastrophe or just the heartlessness of Tory governments we haven’t voted for, it’s clear that the UK isn’t working for Scotland. Scottish Greens will go into May’s election with a clear commitment to put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands, allowing the people of Scotland to have their say.”
