Emergency Liberal Party NEC Statement - Glagow Southside Candidate
The Liberal Party notes with considerable concern the behaviour of its former candidate, Derek Jackson, at the election count for the Glasgow Southside Scottish Parliament seat and does not in any way endorse his actions. Mr Jackson's membership has been suspended with immediate effect.
The Liberal Party is sorry for any offence Mr Jackson may have caused to any members of the public or to other candidates. Mr Jackson, who has acted entirely independently in adopting certain symbols and gestures has massively misrepresented The Liberal Party and its core values.
The Liberal Party vehemently and actively opposes any form anti-Semitism or racism or the use of any symbols which evoke or promotes any such sentiments. The Liberal Party stands for a society that is open, tolerant and equal for all individuals and communities, whatever their heritage, faith or gender.
