John Finnie, a former MSP for the SNP for the Highlands and Islands, has this year ran as the region’s Green candidate.
Mr Finnie said that his party’s efforts have gone over well with residents of the region: “The campaign has been very good, we’ve had a lot of engagement with the public.”
“The public are interested in public services, and they understand for that to happen they need to be funded, so there’s been a lot of interesting proposals for that, as well as jobs,
And housing remains a challenge across the Highlands and Islands and our proposals to do that will not only provide better quality, warmer homes, they will provide jobs too.
“So a lot of the things we’ve been talking about are the things people are interested in, so we’re very excited.”
