Humza Yousaf rejects early Holyrood election despite ‘terminating’ coalition

Humza Yousaf rejected calls for an early Holyrood election after he terminated a coalition deal between the SNP and the Scottish Greens with immediate effect.
The First Minister ended the Bute House Agreement this morning before Scottish Green members had the chance to vote on it next month.
Green members had demanded the vote after the Scottish Government scrapped its flagship climate change target last week.
Mr Yousaf told a press conference at Bute House in Edinburgh that he had taken the decision because the deal was no longer providing the stability it was supposed to and he will now lead a minority administration.
It was suggested to Mr Yousaf that it was time for a Holyrood election, but he said: “First and foremost, there is a general election, of course, we know it could be any time over the course of this calendar year so we look forward to putting our record very much in front of the people of Scotland and listening to their verdict.
“And remember the people of Scotland of course voted for the SNP to be the largest party by quite some considerable distance I would argue in 2021.
“We are of course continuing as an SNP government. They voted for an SNP minority government in 2021. We continue to be an SNP minority government.”
The next Holyrood election is not due to take place until May 2026.

This is one politician I just don't like at all, I really do not trust him.

[@jimmccoll3723]

Pretending he had ended the deal, the Greens had already walked. Total car crash.

[@valeriemeldrum7072]

Get him out of there. He's been absolutely no use to the country.He shouldn't lead the SNP or the Scottish people. He stepped into the role when Sturgeon resigned Let's see how he fares on his own merit in a general election.
