Emma Roddick: We need to talk about the financial barriers to becoming an MSP

AS a young, disabled politician, I m used to facing extra barriers when getting involved. Financial barriers are ones we don t often look at for politicians, after all, MSPs and MPs are well-paid.  My first day in the job, I m in a lot of debt. I don t have the same clothes as the people I m walking past TV cameras alongside, and my train tickets here earned me an overdraft charge.  Next month, I will have a salary I ve never earned half of before. That is genuinely scary to me as someone who has been homeless and often struggled financially, so I plan to donate a chunk to charity every month.
