Description
Scottish Liberal Democrats leader Alex Cole-Hamilton speaks to Podlitical post-conference. Cole-Hamilton explains how he was "always liberal", tracing his politics back to his parents and joining the Quakers, and explains the platform of change he wants the Scottish Liberal Democrats to run on in the next election, that the party have shown they "don't need to be in power to wield power" . Cole-Hamilton discusses toxicity in politics, including how abuse on the "abyss" of social media hurt his mental health, and how in Holyrood, the Liberal Democrats want to "behave like grownups" and meet the Scottish Government "on our own terms".For a range of political interviews, subscribe to Podlitical on BBC Sounds.
