Unionist parties should have the "courage of their convictions" and call an IndyRef2, the co-leader of the Scottish Greens has said. Lorna Slater claimed the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems were scared of losing another referendum on independence.
"I’m continually frustrated by the Unionist parties lacking the courage of their convictions,” she said. "Because I fully believe the reason they won’t let us have a referendum is because they know they’re going to lose it.
"They don’t spend any time at all arguing for why the union is good, they know haven’t got a basis for that – especially with Brexit, especially with unpopular things like the unelected House of Lords, especially the economic disaster we’ve seen coming out of Westminster. They know they have no case to make for the union."
