The Scottish Parliament has reached a “political impasse” in recent years with parties less willing to reach across the divide, says veteran MSP Sandra White.
The SNP member for Glasgow Kelvin, who will retire from the Scottish Parliament this year, after more than two decades as an MSP, said it has made her “rather sad” to see the parliament become more polarised over the last couple of years.
The politician, who has built up a reputation as a community activist, described it as a “difficult decision” not to stand next year, but feels now is the right time to “pass on the baton”.
