Election Countdown: Manifesto Madness
As the party manifestos started to appear, Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene were joined by guest Marion Robertson to highlight some of the manifesto policies being promoted by Alba, ISP, Greens and SSP. In the second half of this podcast, Marlene and Fiona look at the SNP manifesto and at Labour’s Six First Steps for Scotland. Which, by the way, are different from his six first steps for England and Wales!
