There was never any doubt that environmental issues will feature strongly in the coming election. Well their importance is confirmed by the fact that the party leaders are queuing up to take part in the Big Green Debate at The Hub, Edinburgh on April 17th at 7.30.
We're delighted to announce that Alex Salmond, the SNP Leader and Nicol Stephen, Leader of the Liberal Democrats have just agreed to take part. They'll join Robin Harper, Tommy Sheridan and Colin Fox, Leaders of the Green, Solidarity and Scottish Socialist Party on the platform.
Here's hoping that the busy election diaries of both Annabel Goldie and Jack McConnell can be juggled to allow The Big Green Debate to become The Big Green Leaders Debate.
And with Capercaille providing the music, it promises to be quite a night!
When was the last time any of the leaders were on public transport and how did they get here tonight? What more will they do to encourage cycling amongst adults?
