WHEN I was elected to the Scottish Parliament earlier this year, I was under no illusion that it would not be an uphill struggle to push beyond the empty platitudes common in Holyrood and bring about real change.
After all, this is a parliament which has been increasingly defined by complacency in the face of rising levels of inequality, the increasing concentration of economic power in the hands of a few and an escalating climate emergency.
