The Scottish Parliamentary Election 2026:- The Manifestos

A collection of political manifestos published ahead of the 2026 Scottish Election

Some #scotpol posting.

According to the latest opinion polls, Scottish Labour are expected to drop to as few as 13 seats in Holyrood after Thursday.

Amongst the casualties in the expected bloodbath, is Jackie "nukes are socialist" Baillie, who would lose her Dumbarton constituency for the first time in 27 years.

However even if she takes an almighty kicking at the ballot box, Bomber Baillie will still return to Holyrood. As she's Labour's first candidate on the West Scotland regional list.

@alanferrier The BBC is only impartial between respectable imperial parties. Secessionists are only one step above terrorists, and are unworthy of such consideration.

We all want better services and faster response times. Beware scunners offering easy solutions with no consequences. In #England #Labour are selling the #NHS down the river (the one they think we just floated down). Don’t let them do it to Scotland. Streeting in England is not being paid hundreds of thousands in sponsorship by the private healthcare industry for nothing.

@iaruffell @ScottishGreens What do we mean by 'homelessness' here? I live in a village where 10% of the population is homeless, and that's by no means exceptional across rural Scotland.

Addressing that will require very radical change.

I support Crisis’ campaign to end homelessness in Scotland by 2040. Together, we can ensure nobody in Scotland suffers the trauma of homelessness ever again, and end homelessness for good.

"In Wales, Lord Hayward predicted #PlaidCymru, the Welsh nationalist party, will be the largest party in terms of both votes and seats in Wales’ Parliament, the Senedd."

"In Scotland, Lord Hayward predicted that the #SNP will be just short of a majority in the Holyrood Parliament."
