Scotland’s Parliament, established over 25 years ago, has changed how we do politics. But has its record and impact been as significant as its advocates claim? What have been its successes - and what could it do better? People feel increasingly alienated by party politics and the centralisation of ‘Edinburgh knows best’. How if at all can this change? Join journalist and campaigner Lesley Riddoch and former First Minister Henry McLeish assess the impact of devolution, the contours of next year’s Scottish elections, and what Scotland’s future should look like and how we might get there.
Lesley Riddoch is an award-winning journalist, filmmaker and independence campaigner. She is author of the best-selling books Blossom and Thrive. Henry McLeish is Scotland’s former First Minister, previously an MP and MSP, and co-author of Unfinished Business looking at Scotland’s political journey.
