| The Scottish Christian Party's constituency candidate and head of the Central Region list is former Wishaw Labour councillor, Tom Selfridge. He resigned from the Council and the Labour Party in January 2007. Mr Selfridge, who describes himself as more 'true Labour' than 'New Labour' says 'The policies of the Scottish executive, led by Jack McConnell, have demonstrated to me that there is no place for Christians in today's New Labour movement. I have been left with no choice but to leave the Labour Party and join the Scottish Christian Party.' Mr Selfridge, who was brought up a Catholic, added, 'We have even seen 'Divine' intervention here in Motherwell. I mean our local Catholic Bishop Devine who has declared that he will not be voting Labour. It is my hope that Bishop Devine will see fit to vote for and support me, at least for the constituency battle.'
