Your Qs: Election Strategy, The Greens, Indy Convention

Throughout the episode, we answer your questions. Calum, Andy and Geoff consider latest polling which suggests losses for the SNP at Westminster, including of Deputy Westminster leader Mhairi Black. We answer Mada's question on election strategies for Labour and the Conservatives. We discuss the Greens as Lorna Slater suggests the Deposit Return Scheme is: "All systems go" and consider Richard asking why the First Minister hasn't got rid of the Greens from Government yet. Then it's onto the Independence Convention - what's the point, and who should be there. And one listener gets in touch with insider insight on Government consultations with the public which they describe as a "box ticking exercise" to confirm a particular direction of travel. Plus, we clear up what happened with #TypeGate. Email us anytime: hello@holyroodsources.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
