ScottishLib Dems would vote down Budget that contains independence spending

The SNP group in the Scottish Parliament has 62 MSP’s, but in order for their budget to pass they need a majority of 65 MSP’s to vote for it.

The spending plans are likely to be supported by Glasgow Shettleston MSP John Mason, who despite being expelled from the SNP has indicated he would continue to support the party.

It is unlikely the SNP could reach agreement with the Conservatives or Labour, and with only one MSP, Alba’s support would be insufficient to get them over the line.

That means the support of the Scottish Greens or Scottish Lib Dems is necessary.

The Scottish Green party left a power-sharing deal with the government earlier this year.

They have said the government needs to re-earn their trust but they are against axing cash for independence.
