UWS - Scottish Parliament Election Event
Join us for an expert panel exploring the big issues, trends and challenges shaping the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.
What issues will shape the 2026 Scottish Parliament election and what might they mean for Scotland’s future?
Join us on Wednesday 29 April on our UWS Paisley campus for an engaging, impartial pre-election panel discussion that brings together expert voices from the media and academia to explore the key themes influencing the political landscape ahead of polling day.
The discussion will look beyond campaign headlines to examine wider questions around voter behaviour, polling trends, migration, demographic change and political realignment and will help audiences better understand the context of the election and the possible direction of the next Scottish Parliament.
Hosted by UWS Principal and Vice Chancellor, Professor James Miller, the panel will feature leading academic and media voices including politics and education journalist Cat Stewart, Professor Murray Leith, Dr Anna McKeever, Dr Emilia Pietka-Nykaza and Dr Sean Kippen offering informed perspectives on the issues likely to matter most.
This is your opportunity to hear expert analysis, ask questions and take part in a thoughtful conversation about Scotland’s political future.
Delegate places for this event must be registered in advance via Eventbrite.
Further details will be shared in advance with those who have registered to attend.
