We figured that if we want to vote for who will lead our local Scottish communities on May 5th 2022, we’d be better informed if we take a wee look at what each party is telling us that they are focusing on before the big day.
And so we compiled this informative video in what will be a series of short videos introducing each one of the Scottish political parties and their top 10 platform issues being brought forward to voters.
1, 2, 3, Let’s talk democracy!
