Scottish Greens demand inclusion in election boxing match
THE Scottish Green Party has protested after it was announced that it would not be included in a Holyrood election campaign boxing match.
Party co-convener Patrick Harvey, who has reportedly been in strict training, demanded that his party be included in the televised event.
A spokesperson for British Election Boxing (BEB) commented: “After lengthy negotiations, we have come to the conclusion that Patrick is not up to the physical standards of boxing legends Kez, Ruth and Sturgeon.”
When asked about the decision to include the Liberal Democrats, BEB responded: “Sympathy.”
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale commented: “The Labour Party has, in my opinion, been lacking something big … me. Most people don’t know that I’m a former champion.
“We can’t afford to rely on policy, unity or skill. This match is my party’s only hope.”
