The Scottish Christian Party is a minor Christian Right political organisation in Scotland and a sister organisation to the group Operation Christian Vote [1] which has fought elections in England and Scotland, including at the 2005 UK general election. It is headed by The Reverend James George Hargreaves, who claims he is one of the first Afro-Caribbean leaders of a British political party.
The SCP, in common with the Christian Vote party from which they come, aims to fill a void they say exists in the current political spectrum for the Christian Right in the UK. They are pro-life, have opposed moves towards legislation in favour of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and hold a sceptical view on Europe. Rev George Hargreaves was the party's candidate in the Dunfermline and West Fife by-election, 2006, where he received 411 votes.
