SNP set to govern Scotland as minority after Green coalition collapses
The Scottish National Party (SNP) will lead a minority government in Scotland after ending its coalition with the Green Party due to a disagreement over climate change targets. The SNP has been in power since 2011 but has seen a decline in poll ratings. SNP leader Humza Yousaf announced the decision to terminate the coalition agreement with the Greens, stating that pursuing a different arrangement is in the best interests of the people of Scotland. The SNP now operates as a minority government with 63 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSP).
