'Patrick Harvie looked like a man who had lost a vote yesterday rather than someone who had won a political victory. The co-convener of the Scottish Green Party, to use his full title, appeared to speaking more in sorrow than anger when he insisted that he and colleague Robin Harper had felt obliged to vote down the Budget Bill.' Robbie Dinwoodie, Chief Scottish Political Correspondent in the Herald, 29 th January 2009. |
