John Mason has spoken out about the abortion row that has seen him disciplined by the SNP.
In an exclusive interview with the Glasgow Times, he outlined his position on abortion, buffer zones, party control and why he feels the need to speak his mind, even when it gets him in bother.
“We’ve had free votes on a number of these kinds of issues. Same sex marriage was another one, where traditionally all parties have had a free vote and a conscience vote.”The long-standing parliamentarian reminded the party he has been elected eight times and at every election his views on abortion have been well-known and documented
Mason said: “In many ways that is the bigger question. Abortion is the issue we are dealing with but there’s this bigger issue. How do political parties work, not just the SNP?” The letter of rebuke is the first time he has had official party proceedings despite his comments on a range of issues causing controversy.He said: “If there’s no voice in parliament representing voices like pro-life, then it actually undermines parliament and undermines the SNP.”He said: “Faith is part of this as well. I do feel I’m in the right job where I’m meant to be. I do feel that and I’ve done this in jobs outside parliament. I’m questioning the establishment.
