Description

It's part one of our big UK elections bonanza coverage. This episode we're diving into the parliamentary elections that took place in Scotland and Wales. For both of these countries this can credibly claim to be one of the most important contests since the advent of devolution. For Scotland it will play a key role in determining the shape of the country's independence debate for years to come, and for Wales it represents the first vote since the massively raised profile of the Welsh government after the pandemic.
But for those not in the know, what's behind the unique drivers of Scottish and Welsh politics? What sets their political cultures and party system's apart from England? And just where does Mark Drakeford get all his cheese from? Tune in to find out!
