Rhoda Meek writes that she has been 'baffled' as to why the Greens did not make more of an effort with the Highlands and Islands’ contribution to the Scottish Government over the past couple of years, it’s that they have helped keep the Scottish islands firmly in the news cycle.
“I didn’t mean, and didn’t intend, to make them as angry as they clearly are” perfectly sums up what has happened in our rural and island communities recently. Insiders tell me that the Greens have been baffled by the frustration expressed by Island and Highlanders. As a progressive, left-leaning islander, I have been left utterly baffled as to why the Greens didn’t put more effort into courting the Highlands and Islands. We sit on huge natural resources and have been under-represented since the dawn of time. We are custodians of tradition and land. We know the seas and the seasons. The depth of knowledge in our fishing fleet is incredible.
Imagine if the Greens had taken the chance they had as a party with a voice in government to champion the Highlands and Islands. To listen and learn. To ask what needed to be done and help us do it. They could have fought on behalf of those who are responsible for managing a huge amount of land with, arguably, very little support.
“We know that island communities face issues such as higher living costs than those in other areas, and the new plan will ensure we continue to do our best to support them to address those challenges whilst drawing on their considerable expertise and strengths.”
