Land should benefit our communities, nature and environment, not just private profit.

Scottish Greens will limit how much land can be bought by any individual or company unless it provably contributes to the common good. #VoteScottishGreens

they don't give a fuck about the land though, and they sure as hell don't want regular people on it

@ScottishGreens I bet not a single one of them are bulletproof
