It's the day before the 2026 Scottish Parliament election! This episode of Holyrood Sources looks back at the campaign.

Calum Macdonald is joined by Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver to analyse the latest polling trends, what’s really happening beneath the headline numbers,

• Is SNP support as solid as it seems?
• Why the list vote could be the real danger zone for the SNP
• The rise of Reform UK — protest vote or lasting force?
• Are Labour and the Conservatives heading for historic lows?

We also revisit the defining moments of the campaign — from fiery debate clashes to the surreal whisky tariff saga — and ask whether any of it has actually cut through with voters.

And in a special segment, journalism student Logan Smith puts the team on the spot with questions about Reform UK, the future of conservatism in Scotland, and what comes next for Scottish politics.

With low turnout expected and tight margins across the board, could results night deliver some major surprises?

Don’t miss our LIVE results stream from outside the Scottish Parliament, Friday at 7pm.
