The Scottish Christian Party are a minor Christian political organistation 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 to be 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, aim to fill a void they say exists in the current political spectrum for the Christian population in the UK. They are pro-life, have opposed moves towards equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and hold a sceptical view on Europe. Hargreaves was the party's candidate in the Dunfermline and West Fife by-election, 2006, where he lost his deposit.
