Patrick Harvie has signalled the Greens could quit their coalition deal with the SNP if the next first minister backslides on opposing new oil and gas drilling.
The Scottish Greens co-leader said any shift towards supporting further extraction in the North Sea would be a “retrograde” and “damaging” step.
Under Nicola Sturgeon, the Nationalists have notably moved away from backing new drilling projects - such as the controversial Cambo oil field, eventually outright opposed by the outgoing FM.
