As an MSP, John Mason has the luxury of not being up for election on 4 July. But the fortunes of his party, the SNP, will be crucial to the outcome of the general election – and the future makeup of the UK itself. In the third instalment of our election special, John speaks to Paul and Grace about the Christian history of the Scottish National Party, and shares his experience of publicly standing up for his Christian values, often receiving a strongly negative response from those who disagree. What does it mean to be distinctively Christian while also prioritising gracious debate and a 'broad tent' approach to party politics?John has been MSP for Glasgow Shettleston since 2011, and was previously MP for Glasgow East from 2008–2010, and a Glasgow City Councillor from 1998–2008.
