Green Party Spokespersons

'This has been a bad election for the party at Holyrood, and I'm bitterly disappointed both for our activists and for my hard-working colleagues who have lost their seats. The electoral process has also been found wanting in several ways, notably the serious flaws with the revised ballot papers, the electronic count, and the decision to hold the locals on the same day as the Parliament election.' Scottish Green Party Co-convenor Robin Harper MSP, 4 th May 2007.
