Scottish Greens New Transgender MSP, Q Manivannan, to Serve Full Term with Visa Renewal

The Scottish Greens are backing their new transgender MSP, Q Manivannan, with a visa renewal to ensure a full five-year term at Holyrood. Elected this week, Q is one of two trans MSPs from the party and part of their record fifteen seats. Co-leader Gillian Mackay confirmed that Q, a self-described queer Tamil immigrant, will need to renew a visa during this parliamentary session. Mackay dismissed worries about the Home Office refusing the renewal and vowed the party will support Q through the process. The Greens aim to make significant strides on the climate crisis, cost-of-living pressures, and building a fairer Scotland.
