The Holyrood 2026 election is only a year ago. The big question: What do we want to see in party manifestos?
In this episode, Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene take you to Govan. On 5th April, the Scottish Independence Convention (SIC) held a lively and inspiring event to kick-start conversations around the Holyrood 2026 elections.
We feature insights from three of the speakers, each bringing bold, fresh ideas and proposing three key topics they believe should be included in their 2026 manifestos of any party seeking their vote.
Plus, Fiona and Marlene reveal their own top 3 manifesto wish lists, rounding off the episode with some thought-provoking discussion and a few surprises.
Contents:
- 01:57 Simon Barrow – what makes a great manifesto
- 12:57 Selma Rahman – what women tell us
- 29:53 Ian Black – mission orientated market making
- 47:12 Marlene and Fiona’s manifesto wish lists
- There were other speakers at the event but the sound system / acoustics meant that the recordings were not good enough to include.
- More information about Women for Indy (WFI) on their website.
- Fiona and Marlene were invited speakers at last years Edinburgh WFI AGM. You can listen to those talks here.
