THE Scottish Greens conference got under way yesterday with applause for policy announcements, standing ovations for speeches – and cheering for the return of beavers.
Members gathered in Dundee to celebrate what was billed as “18 months unlike any in the party’s history”, after it entered into a co-operation agreement with the SNP which saw Greens entering government for the first time anywhere in the UK.
There was a headline announcement on the Scottish Government refusing to back any plans for coal extraction.
