Scottish Greens accused of violating lobbying rules by selling access to MSPs at conferences.

The Scottish Greens are facing scrutiny for allegedly selling access to ministers and Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) at their conferences, with offerings priced at £700. This practice, ongoing for over a year, may violate the Lobbying Scotland Act 2016, which prohibits paid access to MSPs. Critics, including a communications expert, argue this undermines the party's values, prompting calls for leadership changes amid potential breaches of lobbying rules.
