“EVERYONE who is not sunning themselves on a yacht right now, we are your party.”
A clear message to voters from Labour’s Mercedes Villalba, talking to the Star ahead of the upcoming Holyrood election.
For the Star’s readership who may be off sailing somewhere, this interview may not be for you. But for the rest, the Scottish party and its candidate say there is only one option for socialists on the ballot come May 6.
Villalba only moved to Dundee 18 months ago, having lived in Scotland on and off since 2010.
Initially getting involved with Labour as Jeremy Corbyn rose to leadership, the Holyrood candidate’s political history stretches beyond the party political, with a background in activism from her time involved with the trade union movement, tenants’ unions and the anti-cuts movement.
