Scottish Greens have delivered more for renters than any other party in the history of the Scottish Parliament. Other parties will always work together to weaken rent controls. Only the Greens will make sure Edinburgh implement strong rent controls our city needs.

Scottish Greens are delivering rent control powers to councils.

This is what happens when you vote @scottishgreens.org Tourist taxes are normal across the world. It is right that tourists contribute to the essential services they use whilst visiting our city.

Below the picture is the following text: The Scottish Greens, who secured the power to apply a levy during previous budget talks, have urged councils across Scotland to follow Edinburgh’s lead and consider introducing a visitor levy to help fund vital local services such as schools, libraries and housing.

Your Green votes beat Reform for the final regional MSP seat in Edinburgh. Every vote mattered, every penny donated to our campaign mattered. Now we want to do the same thing again in next year's council elections.

0.19% of the vote: That was how much we beat Reform for the final regional MSP seat. Below is a picture of Kayleigh Kinross-O'Neill MSP smiling, with a 'Elected' sticker, alongside a greyed out Farage with a frown emoji over his face.
