The SNP will have been in power in Scotland for 19 years by the time we go to the polls in May 2026 making this potentially one of the most important elections since devolution in 1999. But with increasing voter apathy and a growing disillusionment in politicians to keep their promises, can the parties energise the electorate enough with their arguments for creating a better Scotland to make sure they get out and vote?
Join Holyrood magazine and an exclusive gathering of politicians, pollsters, public affairs bods, political journalists, and key business leaders, for a night of punditry, psephology and pints, as we put the politicians and special guests on the spot and ask the questions about what’s ahead for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.
