Just noticed in horror that the @ScottishGreens manifesto does not even mention the war in Ukraine under external affairs. That settles what I&#39;m not going to vote for today.

@ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot PS: I know external affairs are largely irrelevant in this election. Apart from maybe a couple of points.

@clemens@mathstodon.xyz There's "End Scottish Government contracts with companies linked to the Russian war economy, including the £1.2bn TotalEnergies gas contract." There's also the more general "Ensure that Scotland’s authorities take every opportunity to uphold international law, UN resolutions, warrants and rulings of the International Criminal Court, in holding accountable any individuals who are suspected of committing war crimes or crimes against humanity." which very much includes Russia given the ongoing investigations for war crimes, crimes against Humanity, and genocide. Still, wouldn't have been hard to condemn wars of aggression and include a list.
