In this episode of the UofG Spotlight On the Elections podcast, we’re looking at what’s in the manifestos of the Scottish parties.
Hosts Professor Nicola McEwen and Professor Kezia Dugdale talk to Professor Alistair Clark, a political scientist from the University of Newcastle and Chris Birt, Associate Director from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
Together they discuss whether manifestos really matter, what’s in them, what’s not and how what they choose to emphasise gives us a greater insight into their priorities and outlook.
