How will the makeup of the new Scottish Parliament impact the government’s ability to pass legislation and bring about the desired change for voters? What priorities will shape the first 100 days of the new government? And what will the election outcome mean for business in Scotland over the next five years?
We will also be joined by Scott Edgar of the Diffley Partnership, who will provide expert analysis of the results and the factors that shaped how voters cast their ballots.
