“Like pin the tail on the donkey” Andy Maciver suggests that predicting a number of seats for any party is almost impossible, pointing to the fluctuating numbers of SNP seats in opinion polls.

“We’re in a bit of a nadir in terms of our political options” Andy Maciver points to a lack of positivity during the Scottish Parliament election campaign and suggests that most people will feel as if they are voting for the ‘least worst option’.

Andy Maciver questions Janine Leonard, from STAND UK, on the fact that 43% of young people in Scotland's classrooms receive some level of ASN, and whether this dilutes the assistance available for those most in need.

“That’s the sort of debate we should be having” Andy Maciver says that Ross Greer and Malcolm Offord’s spat on last week’s STV debate has sparked something that the campaign has been missing: actual philosophical debate on how to run the country.

"Exams are not an intelligence test" Modern studies teacher, Thomas Robertson suggests that exams don't always provide an accurate measurement of a young person's potential.

How will Ivan McKee do as Cabinet Secretary? Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver discuss their admiration for Ivan McKee and suggest that John Swinney was right to promote him to Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Reform.

"Getting a majority is not what's supposed to happen" Andy Maciver suggests that a majority in parliament for the SNP after tomorrow’s election proves that the system does not work properly.

“They are disruptors… that is what they do” Geoff Aberdein looks back at Reform UK Scotland’s campaign for Holyrood and concludes that they have done a good job at breaking the system, even if they are not aiming for government quite yet.

Now that Scottish Labour have failed to meet their goal of being the biggest party in parliament and Anas Sarwar is not First Minister… what actually is Labour’s purpose, and what can they achieve in opposition? Calum Macdonald asks new MSP Katherine Sangster.

“None of these gimmicks make any difference” Food price caps might win headlines in a campaign – but strategically? A disaster. #Scotland #Politics #Economy #Elections #UKPolitics

Should Dems “roll over and play dead”?

If you had the money and depravity to want to boost the fascists into government you could do much worse than work to ensure there was Labour government for 5 years. That'd definitely seal the deal – look at the brick by brick destruction of the UK by Starmer and his circus and tell me otherwise.
