Event summary
Join us for a lively, cross party hustings at CA House on Wednesday 1 April at 18.00. This is your chance to put questions directly to Scottish Election candidates and hear how they plan to shape Scotland’s future.
Scotland goes to the polls on 7 May, and the political world is buzzing. The Gorton and Denton by election last month — with the Greens taking the seat and Labour slipping to third place— has only fuelled the speculation. And while the pundits keep debating, we’re getting ready for our own election events.
We've invited parliamentary candidates from Scotland’s main parties to share their views on the economy, Scotland’s next chapter, the future of public services, and much more at a Question Time–style conversation.
The session event will be Chaired by Douglas Fraser, BBC Scotland’s business and economy editor. With his trademark clarity and rigour he will keep the conversation sharp and hold candidates to account as they set out their visions for Scotland.
Further details of the panellists to be announced soon.
