Two Sleeps To Go

With less than 48 hours until the polls open we focus on Lesley's interviews with Lorna Slater, Alex Salmond and Stephen Flynn.
What did we learn about their party policies and strategies? Were there any unexpected revelations?
We also reflect on the drubbing Macron's centrist Ensemble party received in the first round of the French elections. Will a Republican coalition front emerge to stop Le Pen's National Rally gaining power? What lessons are there for other centrists like Starmer's Labour ?
Lesley will be commentating on the election results on BBC Scotland from 3am-9am on Friday morning, somehow fitting a wee podcast in.

What I found fascinating over this particular GE, is eavesdropping on forums in England occupied predominantly by traditional Labour supporters - They are furious over the direction Starmer et al have taken 'the party', the much trailed 'landslide' looks set to be accomplished on one of the lowest turnouts in UK electoral history. The only party being praised to the rafters is SNP, a party who don't stand in England - Westminster politics from an English perspective is in very deep trouble indeed.....

Thank you for your podcast. Saw you on AJ, that labour guy was grimacing completly, none the less was grand to you speaking up for us. I do believe if Scotland were independent we'd be able to have much more money for a better team, with training up young people at a grassroots level. Get out on Thursday good people. Vote for the old, the young and the vulnerable who may not be able to.. Lets vote not only for ourselves but for all, for Scotland. Gather your strength and lets go! 💜🪶 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm looking forward to the actual elections of relevance, 2026.
