Vanishing act from the Greens
ON the subject of being “absent from the Chamber” (Letters, June 22), I and many other rural residents from all over Scotland attended a debate at the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday, directly following the vote of no confidence in Lorna Slater. It was a debate about the environment, renewable energy and a just transition. Yet, as Douglas Ross pointed out, less than half an hour from being at full strength to support their Green minister holding on to her job, not a single Green MSP could be present in the Parliament to listen to or contribute to this very important debate.
It is very telling, for a party that claims to put the environment above all else, that they are not interested in hearing about the negative effects of their obsession with wind farms, in particular, on our landscape, wildlife and people. They really are a waste of space.
