Scottish Greens mark ‘generational shift’ as Greer and Mackay become co-leaders

The Scottish Green Party has had a “generational shift” with MSPs Ross Greer and Gillian Mackay elected as its new co-leaders.

The pair replace Patrick Harvie – who was co-leader since 2008 – and Lorna Slater, both of whom served as junior ministers in the Scottish Government when the Greens had a powersharing deal with the SNP.
