therefore, the scottish greens msps have decided that we will support a vote of no confidence in the first ministen _ the greens are still furious and insist they will not back mr yousaf in a confidence vote in the coming days. nonetheless, the snp leader has written to all the opposition leaders at holyrood, arguing people want to see political parties work together and inviting them to discuss their concerns and priorities. ash regan of the alba party could be the kingmaker, her support alone might be enough for mr yousaf to survive. alba party's leader, alex salmond, told the sunday times mr yousaf might win her over by striking an electoral pact in which snp candidates stood aside in favour of alba in some seats in future elections. but a source close to mr yousaf called the idea "a fantasy and ridiculous". the main opposition say the first minister has run out of road. i think it's an act of desperation on the part of the current first minister. we've had plenty of opportunities to co—operate over the years, but to be frank with you, what i'm looking at is a very chaotic gover
