“IT DEFINITELY feels like there is a momentum with us,” Mags Hall tells the Star with little over two weeks left until election day. A lead candidate in Mid Scotland and Fife, the proud Fifer is extremely positive about the prospects for the Scottish Greens.
Born and brought up in Kincardine, Hall did what she describes as the “usual thing” in areas like Fife — left to go to university and spent some time travelling before returning in 2010. As well as working for the Scottish Greens at Holyrood, the 36-year-old is now a prominent voice within the party itself, co-chairing its governing council and acting as the Greens’ policy lead on food and agriculture.
But despite having only joined the party after the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, previously being rooted in community and environmental activism, she is by no means a newcomer to electoral politics.
