English Council Elections Fallout: What can Scotland learn?
In this episode, Fiona and Marlene are joined by regular guests Bill Ramsay and Isobel Lindsay to discuss the recent English local council election results and the growing momentum behind far right organisation Reform Uk. What do these political shifts mean for Scottish politics? could they signal change - or opportunity - north of the border?
We explore the dangers of politicians clinging to the centre ground, how to re-energise a disillusioned electorate and whether the Scottish government should adopt a more radical, even rebellious, stance.
Key themes:
00:01:49 Lessons from the English election results
00:06:30 Broken Britain
00:16:55 The independence lifeboat
00:23:49 Indy parties vs the indy movement
00:25:02 Housing crisis or opportunity?
00:28:40 Turnout is key
00:33:53 Can the SNP be the anti-Trump?
00:38:40 Time to get radical again?
00:44:16 Tactics to counter Reform UK
