Campaign launched to reinstate Labour candidate Hollie Cameron

A CAMPAIGN has been launched to see a Labour candidate reinstated after the party stopped backing her over her views on a second Scottish independence vote. 

Hollie Cameron, who was selected by Labour members in Glasgow Kelvin constituency in May’s Holyrood election, was informed she had been dropped by the party over comments made about a potential second independence referendum in the Sunday National. 

A panel of Scottish executive committee (SEC) members claimed that they were not satisfied Ms Cameron would follow the party whip if elected, after she told the newspaper that she “respects the right” to have a second referendum on independence, her only “quibble” was on timing.
