Scotland Climate and Nature Report Card
Candidate Name:
John Forbes
Constituency:
Mid Scotland and Fife
Party:
Independence for Scotland
Date:
April 5, 2026
Notes:
Good to see support for community energy and rural bus routes. More detail on how policies would be delivered would be useful. The responses do not all fully answer the questions, for example, the answer to the marine question focuses on fishing rather than biodiversity protection.
