Scottish National Party scraps power-sharing agreement with Greens over climate strategy

The historic power-sharing agreement between the Scottish National Party and the Scottish Greens has been scrapped after an emergency cabinet meeting on Thursday.
The parties entered into the power-sharing agreement after the 2021 Holyrood election when the SNP fell one short of the 65 MSPs needed to form a majority government.
The deal saw Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater become ministers in Nicola Sturgeon’s Government.
So what’s behind the rift between the two parties?
Tensions had been building between Yousaf and the Greens over several issues central to the Bute House agreement, including gender recognition, road building, climate strategy and marine policy.
The Greens were due to vote on whether to continue being part of the Scottish Government - in which co-leaders Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater have ministerial posts.
