The election result last week was the least representative in modern UK history. Scottish Greens want to see a fairer voting system that ensures all levels of government reflect the range of political views that people support. And according to a recent poll Scotland strongly agrees.

Scottish Green MSP Maggie Chapman has written to Keir Starmer to urge him to deliver fast and fair compensation for WASPI women.
A WASPI woman dies every 13 minutes. No more should die without receiving justice.

In 2016 nearly two thirds of Scottish voters backed Remain. Since then the margin has only grown. An independent Scotland could rejoin the EU, regain our individual rights as European citizens, and have our own seat at the table to work with our friends across the continent.

A Universal Basic Income would help reduce poverty and inequality while improving health and wellbeing.
It could become a cornerstone of a social security system that offers safety and dignity to everyone.

Scotland's future must be for the people of Scotland to decide.

Scotland can be a modern, democratic republic with an elected and accountable head of state.
We must be able to challenge power through the ballot box. Our head of state shouldn't be something people inherit like an old family heirloom.

Private jets are up to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes per passenger, and 50 times more than trains. Yet every year 90,000 private jets take off in the UK. A £1000 per head tax could deter private jet use and raise hundreds of millions to tackle the climate crisis.

Travelling by train should always be cheaper than flying. But in the UK that often isn't the case. 🚆
By cutting the price of rail travel and increasing the number of direct connections between cities we can make it cheaper, easier and greener to get around.

UK arms export criteria says a weapon can not be sold if there's a "clear risk" it might be used in a serious breach of International Humanitarian Law. Yet in 10 years the UK has licensed £500 million worth of arms to Israel. The human cost has been catastrophic. It must end.

We now have indisputable and independent evidence in the public domain that Trump's business dealings, including those in Scotland, were linked to fraud. Scotland cannot be a country where anyone with money is able to buy whatever land and property they want without question.

Travelling by train should always be cheaper than flying. But too often in the UK that isn't the case.
Scottish Greens would subsidise rail tickets by taxing aviation in a way that reflects the enormous impact it has on our climate. 🌍

An annual wealth tax on the super-rich would raise over £70 billion a year. We could: 🟢 Transform our public services 🟢 End child poverty for good 🟢 Tackle the climate emergency There's more than enough money in the UK, but so much of it is being hoarded by a tiny number.

Studies show that we can produce 100% of our energy from renewables.
Compared to the UK's strategy of carbon capture and nuclear power this would save us over £100 billion by 2050!
Scotland has huge renewables potential. We need to grasp the opportunity. #VoteScottishGreens
