Welcome to the Scottish Green Party Annual Conference
6 and 7 November 2010
This is the last Green conference before the 2011 Scottish elections. The fluidity in both Scottish and UK politics is such that the Greens are eagerly expecting significant advances in representation and influence.
But it is not just about the future. Even now, with two MSPs, the Greens play a pivotal role in key decisions made by the Scottish Parliament, not least the annual Budget. Greens sit as Councillors on 3 local authorities in Scotland, too, and their numbers are widely predicted to swell in 2012, with the very real prospect of Greens holding the balance of power in a number of areas.
Our sister party in England has now also secured its first Green MP, Caroline Lucas, who will address the conference, and overall this country's Greens have never been more influential than at present!
