SCOTTISH Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie has said the party is not pre-empting the result of the May 6 elections despite growing anticipation of a pro-independence coalition in Holyrood.
Mr Harvie said yesterday that the party hopes to “make a difference” in the next parliament with an expanded group of MSPs, adding that the Greens will only speak to other parties after the election about potential coalitions.
He said that the party, which supports Scottish independence, remains committed to pushing the SNP government towards a more progressive agenda.

As Scotland heads to the polls, the main parties offer variations on the same script, says MATT KERR
