Join the 15th annual Scottish Politics Explained for its in-person return
In 2022, the referendum and legislation which ultimately led to the re-convening of the Scottish Parliament will mark its 25th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, Holyrood Events presents this exclusive Scottish Politics Explained event.
This landmark for the 1997 referendum and legislation, which created the settlement that remains the foundation for Scotland’s system of governance today, provides an ideal time to reflect. In this Politics Explained event, we will explore some key areas of devolved governance and question how well the settlement has delivered for the people of Scotland over the last 25 years. We will hear from insiders and some prominent commentators on Scottish politics as they provide their expert analysis on how devolution has evolved and how it operates in 2022.
Holyrood’s long-running Politics Explained events have always been about informing those who want to know (for work, study or interest) more about how the Scottish political system actually works and how to navigate it.
