"The Scottish Greens have called for free bus travel, thousands of extra teachers and doctors and a universal basic income among hundreds of uncosted manifesto pledges."
"Gillian Mackay, the party's co-leader, told the party's manifesto launch in Glasgow the Greens represent people angry with a Labour government that promised change but failed to deliver for so many."
"Their plan for radical change was built on a vision of Scotland where we use the full powers of devolution and stretch them to their limits so that we can build the more equal future that so many are crying out for."
"Ross Greer, the other co-leader, said these policies would be funded by new taxes and levies targeting the wealthy and large companies."
The Scottish Greens are advocating for free bus travel, increased numbers of teachers and doctors, and a universal basic income among other uncosted pledges. The party is gaining traction in opinion polls, potentially surpassing Labour. Their manifesto includes proposals for public ownership of bus services, reduced primary school class sizes, and significant housing development. Funding for these initiatives would come from new taxes targeting the wealthy and large corporations. The party aims to channel voter dissatisfaction with Labour into support for their radical vision for Scotland.
