When Scottish Conservative MSP Jamie Greene dramatically defected to the Liberal Democrats, it sent shockwaves through Holyrood. In an exclusive interview, Greene reveals to Unspun Live how the death of SNP minister Christina McKelvie – a close cross-party ally – became the emotional catalyst for his decision. He opens up about his growing disillusionment with the Conservative Party’s direction, its stance on minority rights, and why staying true to his values ultimately meant walking away.
