Like many people, Sean Baillie faces a bit of a conundrum as to how to cast his vote at this year’s Scottish Parliament election.
In a special episode of Nest of Fearties, Sean asks who socialists in Scotland should vote for on the regional list on 7 May 2026. With voting only days away, he spoke to two leading figures in left-wing parties standing in every region across the country.
First, he caught up with Richie Venton, National Campaigns Organiser for the Scottish Socialist Party, on what the return of the SSP to Holyrood would offer Scots. Then Sean spoke to the Co-Leader of the Scottish Green Party, Gillian Mackay.
