Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie hopes party members will vote to maintain a power-sharing deal with the SNP.
Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie has said he "honestly does not know" if his party will stay in government with the SNP.
"It's been clear for a long time now that Scotland is not on track to meet that target," Mr Harvie told the programme. He said there had been times when the Greens had been arguing for transformational changes and other parties that had voted for the targets voted against those changes. "My instinct is that we will achieve far more by staying in government, not only in terms of good climate policy and a whole host of other policies, but I don't just want our members to think 'yea, grudgingly on balance we'll probably do more good by staying'.
Mr Harvie was also asked about the Cass Review in England in which paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass said children had been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions in gender care.Green MSP Ross Greer has described the report as a "transphobic, conservative document".
