“I think it has run its course,” Ms Grahame told ITV Border this afternoon speaking from Holyrood.
“I have been here when we had a minority government and I think there is such a difference between what the Greens and the SNP are looking for.
“I think the difference is too big now and it is in the interests of either party to continue. I would be satisfied if the SNP said we are going to work as minority government.”
Asked if she wanted the Prime Minister to leave the BHA, she replied: “Whoever does, I’d rather it be us.”
Ms Grahame is the latest senior SNP MSP to back her party’s withdrawal from the deal with the Scottish Greens.
SNP Member of Parliament Fergus Ewing is a long-time critic of the arrangement, telling the Herald earlier this month that he wanted his party to leave the deal before the general election.
Former finance secretary Kate Forbes has also said the deal should be reviewed.
Earlier this week SNP MP Joanna Cherry said party members should have a new vote on the deal, while former health secretary Alex Neil said the two parties should ‘go their separate ways’.
