Scottish Parliament Elections: Where to From Here?

T he votes are counted, and 2026’s Scottish Parliament election has delivered a winner – but has it delivered a workable government? Will Scotland see stable leadership, or a parliament shaped by deals, compromises, and constant risk of fracture – and what questions does the result pose for Westminster too? Today's panel of experts – including polling specialist Sir John Curtice, journalist David Torrance, and political advisor Liz Lloyd – go beyond the headlines to unpack the result, map the new balance of power, and reflect on this next chapter of Scottish politics. Chaired by Nicola McEwan.
