some in the party, as you were saying, were unhappy with the power—sharing arrangement after the snp dropped a climate change target. there has also been issues about gender services for young people. in a twist, humza yousaf called in the green ministers on thursday and he told them the relationship was over so that is how he finds himself in this position fighting for his political life. he said he is confident he will win the confidence vote and he will not resign but he does face these two votes of confidence next week, one in himself and one in his government. as you were explaining in your introduction, the arithmetic in the scottish parliament is very tight. there are 63 snp msps, there are 65 opposition msps and there is the presiding officer who retains a neutral position. he has written to all of the party leaders asking them for talks on where they can find common ground. i think it is safe to say we can rule out any deals with the prounion parties, labour, conservatives and liberal democrats. but somewhat ironically, mr yousaf is now having to reach back out to the greens
