Jamie Greene Joins Race for Scottish Tory Leadership

Jamie Greene has officially announced his candidacy for the Scottish Conservative leadership, emphasizing a need for a 'radical shake-up' of the party's strategy in Holyrood. He aims to 'fix politics, fix our party, and fix Scotland', promising to give members a greater say and to attract new voters with common-sense ideas. Greene's campaign focuses on rebuilding the Scottish Conservatives as a member-led organization and proposes initiatives to enhance entrepreneurship and digital skills among young Scots. His candidacy follows the resignation of Douglas Ross, who stepped down during the general election campaign, and the new leader is expected to be confirmed by late September. Greene joins a competitive field of candidates, including Russell Findlay, Brian Whittle, Meghan Gallacher, and Liam Kerr. The Scottish Conservative party is under pressure to rejuvenate its approach after recent electoral setbacks.
