It is extremely important to carefully consider the partners you go into coalition with to maintain credibility and the support of the people who elected you.

OB has it exactly right.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Result...ament_election

The Greens took NO constituency seats and obtained 8 Regional seats.

The SNP got 47.7% of the Constituency vote.
The Greens got 1.3% of the Constituency vote.

So, although there is a government supportive of independence, giving up the comforts that the Greens want to take away may well become a bigger issue than independence.

Sturgeon will want to put that difficult stuff into the background and the Greens will want that to be front & centre. Interesting times to come.
