EXCLUSIVE: Harper said voting Labour was the 'only way' of getting rid of the Tories
A former Scottish Green leader who quit the party after thirty years of membership will vote Labour at the next general election.
Robin Harper, who was also the first Green MSP, said backing Anas Sarwar’s party was the only way to get rid of the Tories. Harper resigned from Scottish Greens after disagreeing with their support for independence and position on trans rights."My concern that the SGP's public image has been damaged by its failure to co-operate meaningfully with other interests, including the Westminster government, is reinforced by the huge number of friends, acquaintances and random contacts who have expressed to me an opinion that the Scottish Green Party has lost the plot.
"I am aware that former colleagues and friends in the SGP may be sorry - and even offended - by my decision to resign from the party and I apologise for not attempting to speak up within the party before coming to this decision.”“It would be top of my list of options. I will support him. Across the country, Labour are the only opportunity for getting the Tories out. I’d like to be part of the charge that makes that happen.
The former teacher added that he found the debate on the constitution “sterile” and claimed independence in the current climate would be a "nightmare".
