In 2016 nearly two thirds of Scottish voters backed Remain. Since then the margin has only grown. An independent Scotland could rejoin the EU, regain our individual rights as European citizens, and have our own seat at the table to work with our friends across the continent.

A Universal Basic Income would help reduce poverty and inequality while improving health and wellbeing. It could become a cornerstone of a social security system that offers safety and dignity to everyone. #VoteScottishGreens

Scotland's future must be for the people of Scotland to decide. Scottish Greens would devolve the power to hold constitutional referendums to the Scottish Parliament. #VoteScottishGreens

The next 5 years are crucial. Already around the world we're seeing the results of climate breakdown: floods, wildfires, droughts, and increased extreme wealther of every kind. That's why tomorrow we're asking you to vote like our future depends on it. #VoteScottishGreens

Scotland can be a modern, democratic republic with an elected and accountable head of state. We must be able to challenge power through the ballot box. Our head of state shouldn't be something people inherit like an old family heirloom. #AbolishTheMonarchy #VoteScottishGreens

Private jets are up to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes per passenger, and 50 times more than trains. Yet every year 90,000 private jets take off in the UK. A £1000 per head tax could deter private jet use and raise hundreds of millions to tackle the climate crisis.

Travelling by train should always be cheaper than flying. But in the UK that often isn't the case. 🚆 By cutting the price of rail travel and increasing the number of direct connections between cities we can make it cheaper, easier and greener to get around. #VoteScottishGreens

Don't buy the excuses. There's more than enough money in the UK to: 🟢 Fund public services 🟢 Scrap the two child benefit cap 🟢 Tackle the climate emergency #VoteScottishGreens and send a clear message: tax the rich to build a fairer, greener Scotland.

UK arms export criteria says a weapon can not be sold if there's a "clear risk" it might be used in a serious breach of International Humanitarian Law. Yet in 10 years the UK has licensed £500 million worth of arms to Israel. The human cost has been catastrophic. It must end.

Study after study has shown the benefits of a 4 day week to wellbeing, health, productivity and the environment. 🪁 The UK government should follow the evidence and work with trade unions and employers to normalise its implementation across the economy. #VoteScottishGreens

We now have indisputable and independent evidence in the public domain that Trump's business dealings, including those in Scotland, were linked to fraud. Scotland cannot be a country where anyone with money is able to buy whatever land and property they want without question.

Travelling by train should always be cheaper than flying. But too often in the UK that isn't the case. Scottish Greens would subsidise rail tickets by taxing aviation in a way that reflects the enormous impact it has on our climate. 🌍 #VoteScottishGreens

Scotland needs a just transition to renewables and the green economy. Our planet, economy and communities can't afford anything else. That's why Scottish Greens will end all new oil and gas exploration, and invest £28 billion a year in a Green New Deal. 👇

An annual wealth tax on the super-rich would raise over £70 billion a year. We could: 🟢 Transform our public services 🟢 End child poverty for good 🟢 Tackle the climate emergency There's more than enough money in the UK, but so much of it is being hoarded by a tiny number.

Studies show that we can produce 100% of our energy from renewables. Compared to the UK's strategy of carbon capture and nuclear power this would save us over £100 billion by 2050! Scotland has huge renewables potential. We need to grasp the opportunity. #VoteScottishGreens

Our Bill to ban greyhound racing in Scotland has received the backing of MSPs to move forward in the Scottish Parliament! In just 3 years from 2018 there were 17,930 recorded injuries and 2,412 deaths among registered greyhounds. It's time to end greyhound racing for good.

The Scottish Greens will oppose any attempt to return education to the dark ages with a new Section 28. Every young person is entitled to an inclusive education that recognises them for who they are. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
