Listen now
Description
Martin Geissler sits down with Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie. The Scottish Greens were part of the Scottish Government, until the then-First minister Humza Yousaf collapsed the Bute House Agreement. They had power, they had exposure, but has that helped their cause? In this audio version of the BBC Scotland Sunday Show interview, Martin asks Harvie about independence, a post-government world for his party, and how he thinks they’ll do in the election. Part of a series of interviews with party leaders over the course of the general election campaign. To hear them all, subscribe to Podlitical on BBC Sounds, or tune in to the Sunday Show every Sunday from 10am on BBC One Scotland and Radio Scotland.
