We'd bring down government but not for revenge

Scottish Greens deny they want to settle scores

- PAUL HUTCHEON

SCOTTISH Greens would "absolutely" be willing to bring down the SNP Government by voting against their Budget.

Party co-leader Lorna Slater rejected claims her hardball position is motivated by getting back at the SNP for ditching them from government.

SNP Finance Secretary Shona Robison needs the help of a party other than Alba to ensure her tax and spending plans in December are passed.
