Election Strategies... with Stephen Gethins

*LEAVE US A REVIEW // Join the mailing list: holyroodsources.comWe discuss this week's YouGov poll, which suggests that the SNP is set to lose nearly half of the seats it won in the last general election. We debate the implications of the poll, as well as the SNP's strategy and messaging. Our guest today is former SNP MP - and election candidate - Stephen Gethins, who argues that the SNP is still in a strong position and highlights the importance of motivating volunteers and engaging with voters. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the focus of the SNP's attacks and the role of the Labour Party as their principal opponents. We discuss Brexit, the European Union, and Scottish independence: the impact of Brexit on the cost of living, reversing Brexit and rejoining the EU, the EFTA argument and Scotland's EU membership. We discuss Humza Yousaf's credibility as SNP leader if the poll proves to be accurate come the general election.In association with SSE Berwick Bank.
