In 1707 the Scottish national parliament was disbanded, not to be reconvened until 1999. How and why Scotland regained its own Assembly is the story of rising Scottish nationalism and Westminster’s attempts to dampen such feelings and keep Scotland in the Union. On May 7th, Scots go to the polls, and the outcome could impact significantly on both the nationalist cause in Scotland and on the ongoing viability of Keir Starmer’s Labour government at Westminster.
Guests:
Dr Clement Macintyre – Professor Emeritus, School of Society and Culture, Adelaide University
Dr Nicola McEwen – Professor of Public Policy and Governance, University of Glasgow
Alyn Smith – Former UK MP and MEP, candidate for the 2026 Scottish parliamentary elections, Scottish National Party
Tom Chidwick – Manager, Mile End Institute, Queen Mary University of London
