Join the editors of Holyrood – Scotland’s only dedicated political media title – political scientist Sir John Curtice and pollster Mark Diffley,  for immediate reaction to the Scottish Election 2026 results and what they mean for parliament and the country. 

Together with a number of leading Scottish politicians, to be announced, the expert panel will discuss:

• Scottish Election results
• Who makes up the new Scottish government and what deals might need to be done
• What this means for each party leader
• What this means for the constitutional question in Scotland
• What this means for how Scotland is run

Holyrood's Chris Marshall talks to Sean Duffy, chief executive of the Wise Group, and SNP MSP Rona Mackay, a member of the Scottish Parliament's Criminal Justice Committee, about Scotland's stubbornly high prison population and the effectiveness of community-based alternatives to incarceration.
