Scottish Greens targets Kate Forbes and her beliefs

Scottish Greens Ross Greer spoke on the appointment of Ms Forbes, saying 'The Scottish Greens cannot support the appointment of someone who fundamentally does not believe that everyone in Scotland is equal worthy of equal rights and respect.'
Lorna Slater continued the attack, later saying: “I think that some people definitely have concerns, reasonable concerns about having Kate Forbes in a senior leadership position in the government.
“Of course, she as well as John Swinney stood for election on a manifesto that included gender recognition reform and the ban on conversion therapy.”
Ms Slater said the Greens had worked with Ms Forbes and Mr Swinney as ministers in the past.
She urged the First Minister to continue with the Greens’ priorities, saying “we will have to have some disagreements if they’re going to change direction”.

    It's the list system. It needs to be scrapped. These people are in govt with a tiny amount of votes. The influence they have gained is wildly beyond their voter appeal. All Green policies and so called progressive politics needs kicked out of Holyrood. I don't want to live in a country where industry is outlawed, there are no jobs, and the age of consent is 10 years old.
