Green MSP on Arran

On Sunday 19th October Alison Johnstone, MSP for Lothian, had an informal meeting with members of the rapidly growing Green Party. Although on holiday, she was keen to talk and to learn about the island and its many activities, and everyone present was struck by her lively readiness to exchange ideas. Scotland’s ‘other’ Green MSP shares with Patrick Harvie an impressive grasp of facts, combined with a friendly approachability that endeared her to everyone as well as commanding respect.
