Chris McEleny Talks Mental Health and Politics on Man On! Political Roadshow
“I think the big problem that creates in the Scottish parliament is: you've got the SNP, you've got the government synonymous with each other- SNP, Scottish government same thing- and you've got opposition parties that I don't think spend any time, never mind anywhere near enough time, progressing real issues that matter to people, that they can use the powers of the parliament to actually improve.”
Politics can often feel distant, but in this episode of the 'Man On! Podcast', Chris McEleny brings it right to your doorstep. As an Alba candidate for the upcoming election, McEleny dives into the party's goals and what they mean for Inverclyde and mental health. He breaks down Alba's five-point plan to tackle poverty—no need for independence debates here—and shares his thoughts on providing universal free school meals for primary kids.
McEleny's passion shines through as he discusses targeted interventions to help those in need, making this conversation both enlightening and hopeful. If you're curious about how politics can directly impact your community's well-being, this episode is a must-listen.
