What is going on right now?! In an age when we need to be protecting/encouraging whatever nature we've got left, all of these numpties are wielding their ill-deserved power against it.

The luxury houses and themeparks get to decimate our wild lands (and us by extension). But anything remotely helpful to nature (and therefore our own health) is challenged at every stage.

Don't even get me started on the other, frankly bizarre, environmental choices I see around.

Vote Green

They've rapidly become the only option worth considering, to me. Gave a decade to the SNP, who seem to have no will anymore to do the thing they are titled after. "Labour" are worse, and I'm not touching the others with a bargepole.

Given AMS, SNP/Green is still the most bang for buck indy wise imo in Holyrood. But SGP are making inroads everywhere. It would be good to see Harvey having a stab at MP next election
