THE Scottish Greens launched their general election manifesto today, calling for an independent republic north of the border and a green new deal.
Speaking ahead of the manifesto’s central Edinburgh launch, co-leader Patrick Harvie said there should be a “written constitution, drawn up by the people to entrench our rights and our democracy.
“The Scottish Greens are the only party calling for an independent Scottish republic, where power lies with the people rather than being handed down like a family heirloom.”
