Nice to hear from you Marco
Thanks for promoting me to the position of Organiser for the Scottish Socialist Party... I do go out and help sell papers every now and again, organise the odd petition around the Council Tax and the sell-off of local housing stock, that sort of thing. All unpaid, and not really deserving of the credit you give me, but thanks anyway!
What do I do now, after an interesting (and far from overwhelmingly positive) year in the student politics? Well I run a youthwork service for LGBT young people right across Scotland. I know that some of the skills and experience that I got by working as a student rep has definitely helped me do a good job since and, hopefully, make real differences in the lives of lots of young people and support them to take their place as active and equal citizens in society.
That's where my ambitions lie Marco, not in the world of party politics. My activities for the SSP are just me volunteering to do my little bit, just the same as when I volunteered to be VPR.
Kev xx
btw - when can we expect you to make the switch to socialism just like all the other old, disenchanted SNP activists I see at branch meetings nowadays?
