Last week i stood here to announce the announced his resignation. Last week i stood here to announce the ending l i stood here to announce the ending of the Cooperation Agreement between the snp and the greens. And the snp would seek to govern as a Minority Government. I made that decision as leader of the snp as i believed and then Bute House Agreement was the right one for the party i lead, and i still do believe that to be the case, but most importantly i believe it was the right decision for the country. My hope was to continue working with the greens in a less formal agreements as the snp moved into a new face of Minority Governments. Unfortunately, in ending the Bute House Agreement in the manner that i did i clearly underestimated the level of hurt and upset that caused my green colleagues.
