The Education Debate

Scotland’s leading election website, ScotlandVotes.com, in partnership with The Scotland on Sunday will host a series of hustings in the run up to the 2011 Scottish Parliament election.  The first event will focus on education and the four main party spokespeople have all agreed to take part.

The hustings will be chaired by Kenny Farquharson, Deputy Editor Scotland on Sunday.  Each spokesperson will provide a short statement and this will be followed by questions from the other spokespeople and the audience.

Please join us at the event if you would like to take part and grill the politicians in advance of the Scottish Parliament elections.

  • Des McNulty MSP, Scottish Labour
  • Margaret Smith, Scottish Liberal Democrats

As an election first in Scotland the hustings will also be broadcast live on the internet with anyone from across the country not only able to view the proceedings but also ask questions live online.  If you aren't able to join us in person then please on Monday 7th March at 3pm log on to www.scotlandvotes.com to view the event.
