Responding to the news that Patrick Harvie is stepping down as Co-Leader of the Scottish Green Party, Carla Denyer MP, Co-Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, said,
“Patrick’s legacy goes well beyond being the longest-serving political leader in the UK, or even being the leader who took Greens into government for the first time in the UK. His legacy will be marked every time a young person gets on public transport free of charge; with every renter who is able to keep a roof over their heads because of protections that Patrick secured; and with every kilowatt of clean renewable power that Scotland produces because of Green policies. These are real achievements to be proud of. A legacy offering real hope for Scotland.”
