SNP-Scottish Greens Power-Sharing Deal Ends

The Scottish National Party (SNP) has terminated its power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens, reportedly following tensions over climate change and gender identity issues. The Bute House Agreement, signed in 2021, brought the Greens into government for the first time in the UK. However, the Greens’ anger over the government’s reversal on a climate change target and decision to pause puberty blockers for children led them to consider a vote on the deal’s future. Before that could occur, the SNP ended the agreement, leaving it to operate as a minority administration at Holyrood.
