Patrick Harvie is the first of the leaders of Holryood's five main political parties to put themselves on the spot and face your questions ahead of the fifth Scottish Parliament elections on 5th May.

The co-leader of the Scottish Greens will be taking your calls on Scotland's Talk In on Sunday morning on Northsound 2 from 10.

The Scottish Greens have made six key pledges for the campaign.

The party wants a fracking ban, wages for home carers, and more than 200,000 jobs in green industries.

The three other promises include more land reform, better housing, and guaranteed jobs, training or education for every school-leaver.

The Scottish Greens have candidates on all regional lists for the Holyrood elections in May.

Patrick Harvie said: "We believe that Scotland can be a better country for everyone who lives here and for a better Scotland. We need a bolder Holyrood.

"We believe that Scotland can unlock the power of our communities to invest in jobs, health and the economy. We believe that the Scottish Parliament can be so much bolder in meeting the ambitions of the people of Scotland.

"We bring fresh, new, bold ideas to Parliament. We will work constructively with others who share our aims. Holyrood - and Scotland - needs a diverse politics and progressive champions to hold the Scottish Government to account."
