Allan Little reported widely on devolution and the questions around Scottish independence as a BBC special correspondent.
Sir John Curtice is a Professor of Politics at Strathclyde University, and Chief Commentator on the What UK Thinks
Jess Sargeant is a Senior Researcher at The Institute for Government where she focusses on devolution.
Lynsey Bews, is a Political Correspondent for BBC Scotland
Alistair Grant is a Political Correspondent for The Herald newspaper.
Producers: Kirtseen Knight, Beth Sagar-Fenton and Joe Kent
