as you were explaining in your introduction, the arithmetic in the scottish parliament is very tight. there are 63 snp msps, there are 65 opposition msps and there is the presiding officer who retains a neutral position. he has written to all of the party leaders asking them for talks on where they can find common ground. i think it is safe to say we can rule out any deals with the prounion parties, labour, conservatives and liberal democrats. but somewhat ironically, mr yousaf is now having to reach back out to the greens who he dumped on thursday but they are sore and they say they can't trust him after what happened. mr yousaf said yesterday he didn't mean to upset or anger the scottish greens and that there are a lot of issues that both the snp and greens share. so that is one way he could remain in government if some of the seven scottish green msps were to change their tack and support him but that seems highly unlikely given the upset that has caused. his only other potential lifeline is the alba party msp ash regan. she stood against humza yousaf for the leadership of the snp
