Liberal Democrats respond to two years of Bute House Agreement

Responding to the two year anniversary of the agreement between the SNP and Scottish Greens, Scottish Liberal Democrat net zero spokesperson Cllr Sanne Dijkstra Downie said:  

"This event marks two years of the Green party offering up excuses for nationalist government failures.  

“Scotland missed its climate change targets before the Greens were in government and has carried on missing them since they joined. The deposit return scheme collapsed on the watch of a Green minister, while sewage dumped in Scottish rivers rose by almost a third last year.

"Green MSPs have lined up to defend policies that even some SNP backbenchers consider beyond the pale.

"The Bute House Agreement is utterly dysfunctional. If we are serious about tackling the climate emergency, we need both the UK and the Scottish governments to work together.”
