#GE2019 Greens concentrate on climate change

Lorna Slater is the co-leader of the Scottish Green Party with Patrick Harvie MSP. She told us that their message remains one of requiring action on climate change in this election.

She told The Edinburgh Reporter that their main message remains the climate emergency. She said : “We need to demand climate action. It was so disappointing that the leaders at the so called leaders’ debate the other day that not one leader pressed the importance of doing something.

“The most urgent thing on our planet right now is climate action.

“We have to take serious action to lower our emissions immediately. None of them did that.

“I think we can see how effective Caroline Lucas is. And she’s just one Green MP. Lots of people have said that she’s a more effective opposition all by herself than the entire Labour Party. Imagine if we had two or three green MPs. Even having a few Greens makes such a difference because we keep climate change and demanding climate action on the table.”

We spoke to @lornagreens earlier about the main message that they are putting across in spite of @patrickharvie not having a place at any of the leaders’ debates. pic.twitter.com/D2z3xVGNiP
