Should Scotland have an agreed threshold for a Referendum? Geoff Aberdein wonders if, now that John Swinney’s mandate for independence hasn’t been met, whether it would be wise for political parties to agree on a threshold for a second referendum in future elections.

Andy Maciver suggests that whilst it’s easy to laugh at the list of purchases by Peter Murrell using embezzled SNP finances, how important it is not to undermine the seriousness of the crime.

"The Scottish Greens' brand is STRONG?" @markmcgeoghegan.bsky.social, Andy Maciver and Calum Macdonald discuss the Greens unique brand within Scottish politics and how that could help them during election campaigns.

“People didn’t believe that we could fix it” @kathsangster.bsky.social tries to summarise where things went wrong for Labour at the Scottish Parliament Election, ultimately suggesting that the focus wasn’t on Scotland and that the party’s record at Westminster paid a huge part.

"Why not invest in industries that will guarantee jobs for the future?" @scottishgreens.org co-leader @ross-greer.bsky.social suggests that Scotland should invest in creating jobs in the renewable industry sector.
