Scottish Greens Shake-up: Maggie Chapman Takes Lead

0:00On April 2nd, the Scottish Greens just shook up their Northeast candidate list for the May 7th election. Guy Ingerson was set to lead the regional slate, but got dropped Monday over an unresolved complaint. Now Maggie Chapman steps up top, even with her own complaint still pending. Party co-leader Ross Greer stressed their vetting and complaints, processes state totally separate from leadership. He is confident Chapman will get reelected as the Northeast MSP, keeping up fights for rail extensions to Fraserberg and Peterhead, plus saving. Community spots like St. Fittix part from developers. Ingerson hid back on social media, calling it a two-year smear campaign that succeeded in blocking him. Greer admitted the whole mess has been really tough on everyone involved, but said they are moving forward with a solid slate. At their Edinburgh campaign launched Thursday, co-leaders Greer and Gillian McCuy pushed bold fixes for cost of living and climate woes, like fair pay. For care workers, nationwide mental health hubs, land buy limits, and the biggest free childcare rollout in a generation.
