Speaker: Scottish Election Study
This event is a political discussion hosted by the Scottish Election Study team, focusing on the upcoming 2026 Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) elections. It will explore how various recent political developments—such as the SNP's decline since 2021, Labour's evolving UK-wide agenda, Nigel Farage's Reform Party's unexpected rise in the polls, and the Scottish Conservatives’ ongoing challenges—might influence voter behaviour and party fortunes over the next year. The team will use insights from their SCOOP data series to analyse these dynamics and assess what may lie ahead for Scotland's political landscape.
