From what I've seen in polls - a snap Scottish election now would likely result in some sort of Labour minority government

That’s the median outcome for a snap election at the minute - Labour a few seats behind the SNP, but with a narrow unionist majority at Holyrood that picks Anas Sarwar over Humza Yousaf in the formal vote for First Minister.

I say Humza Yousaf - word on the street is that he’s standing down on Monday morning, so who knows where things go next…

Presumably SNP high command pushes for a progressive in the Sturgeon-Yousaf mould, who can attempt to re-establish relations with the Greens, to get them through to 2026 without an early dissolution.

Question about the bolded part - if Yousaf resigns tomorrow, how quickly could the SNP get a new leader in to re-establish an agreement with the Greens? Could it happen within the week?
