Why do people go into politics? - Started life as an academic but involved in community work along with conservation and anti-racism work in Zimbabwe. - Got involved in campaigning and activism in Scotland. - The war in Iraq was motivating due to being an advocate for anti-war and joined the Greens as they most closely aligned with beliefs. - Was approached to become a councillor in Edinburgh and did that for 8 years then stood to be an MSP. - Sees politics and party politics in different ways as the party often gets in the way
