Description

The Scottish Greens MSP for the West Scotland region talks to Podlitical post-conference. Ross Greer sits down with the podcast to discuss protest in the form of direct action, including why he backs the right for protesters to disrupt First Minister's Questions at Holyrood, and the reaction to the new Scottish hate crime bill which came into force. Greer talks about his career over the last eight years, why he sees a "more urgent need" than ever for green politics, and his involvement with the 2014 independence referendum, including why he feels the Yes campaign never faced a "public reckoning" on why it didn't deliver, and why he "certainly hopes" he won't be a politician for life.For a range of political interviews, subscribe to Podlitical on BBC Sounds.
