May 2026 sees Scottish Parliament elections with seats being offered both for constituencies and regional lists. We speak with Cameron Milne, Scottish Libertarian Party candidate, West of Scotland regional list.
“I’m standing because people deserve to know there is a real alternative – one that trusts individuals”
Can you introduce yourself to our readers, and tell us what made you decide to run?
I’ve been a member of the Scottish Libertarian Party for nearly six years. Libertarian ideals are lacking in Scotland, but they are clearly wanted by many. Our principles are simple: the right to freedom and the right to life.
I’m standing because people deserve to know there is a real alternative – one that trusts individuals, not systems, and puts responsibility back where it belongs.
“The Scottish Libertarian Party is the ONLY party offering something genuinely different”
You’re the prospective candidate for West of Scotland regional list, what are the major concerns in the area?
As a candidate for the West of Scotland regional list, the biggest concern I hear is simple—nothing ever really changes.
Every election cycle brings the same promises and the same disappointment. People feel stuck, with no real alternative on the ballot. The Scottish Libertarian Party is the ONLY party offering something genuinely different.
“Right now, the system rewards spending more, not saving. That has to change”
What do you see as the major issues that if elected you hope to champion?
If elected, I will focus on bringing accountability back to public spending.
Right now, the system rewards spending more, not saving. That has to change. This is the public’s money, and it should be treated with respect. I’ll push to get waste under control and ensure value for every pound spent.
