Calum, Andy and Geoff analyse the first TV debate between Kate Forbes, Humza Yousaf and Ash Regan broadcast on STV. The candidates got quite personal - is this them trying to carve out differences in public in a really obvious way? Geoff and Andy discuss whether this tactic will continue for the remainder of the campaign. How far did the candidates manage to appeal to SNP members to be their leader, and the wider public to be First Minister? We also got a bit of insight into more of their policy plans with child poverty, the NHS and the National Care Service all featuring. Plus, Geoff and Andy share their experiences of preparing politicians for debates including Geoff's memories of a "head in my hands" moment during the Independence Referendum campaign. Andy considers why most of his debate success came when he was playing the role of the opposing side to Scottish Conservative leaders. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/holyroodsources.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2keu5nv7 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Nicola Sturgeon resigning as First Minister of Scotland. Nicola Sturgeon ag éirí as a post mar Chéad Aire na hAlban. Nicola Sturgeon has announced that she is stepping down as First Minister of Scotland after eight years. Tá sé fógraithe ag Nicola Sturgeon go bhfuil sí ag éirí as a post mar Chéad Aire na hAlban i ndiaidh ocht mbliana. The First Minister announced this at a press event in Edinburgh this morning when she said it is time for her to stand aside. D'fhógair an Chéad Aire an méid seo ag preas ócáid i nDún Éideann ar maidin nuair a dúirt sí go bhfuil sé in am aici seasamh i leataobh. The leader of the Scottish National Party said she will remain in the post until the party chooses her successor. Dúirt ceannaire Pháirtí Náisiúnta na hAlban go bhfanfaidh sí sa phost go dtí go roghnóidh an páirtí comharba uirthi. Sturgeon is the longest-serving First Minister since Scotland's devolved parliament was established in 1999. Is í Sturgeon an Chéad Aire is faide sa phost ó bunaíodh parlaimint díláraithe na hAlban i 1999. She said that, although she understands that her decision would hurt many people, she believes that it is the wise decision for herself, her party and the country as a whole. Dúirt sí, cé go dtuigeann sí go ngoillfeadh a cinneadh ar go leor daoine, go gcreideann sí gurb é an cinneadh críonna é aici féin, dá páirtí agus don tír trí chéile. Sturgeon has been First Minister in Scotland since 2014 when she succeeded Alex Salmond. Tá Sturgeon ina Céad Aire in Albain ón bhliain 2014 nuair a tháinig sí i gcomharbacht ar Alex Salmond. He resigned as First Minister in 2014 when the Scottish National Party failed in the Independence Referendum. D'éirigh seisean as post an Chéad Aire i 2014 nuair a theip ar Pháirtí Náisiúnta na hAlban sa Reifreann Neamhspleáchais. Sturgeon took the party lead with a firm determination to achieve independence for Scotland, and although she managed to increase the SNP's number of seats significantly after the referendum, she was unsuccessful in her efforts to pass legislation that would allow the parliament to change the constitution. Chuaigh Sturgeon i gceannas an pháirtí agus rún daingean aici neamhspleáchas a bhaint amach d'Albain, agus cé gur éirigh léi cur go mór le líon suíochán an SNP i ndiaidh an reifrinn, níor éirigh léi ina h-iarrachtaí reachtaíocht a rith a cheadódh don pharlaimint an bunreacht a athrú. The British Supreme Court ruled in 2022 that the Scottish Parliament could not pass that legislation, but the SNP now wants Scottish voters to treat the next general election in Britain as a "de facto" referendum. Rialaigh Cúirt Uachtarach na Breataine i 2022 nach bhféadfadh Parlaimint na hAlban an reachtaíocht sin a rith, ach tá an SNP anois ag iarraidh go gcaithfeadhi vótóirí na hAlbhan leis an chéad olltoghchán eile sa Bhreatain mar reifreann "de facto." Nicola Sturgeon has been under siege recently over controversial amendments to gender recognition legislation, but she told reporters this morning that her decision was not about "short-term issues." Bhí Nicola Sturgeon faoi léigear ar na mallaibh maidir le leasuithe conspóideacha ar an reachtaíocht a bhaineann le aitheantas inscne, ach dúirt sí le tuairisceoirí ar maidin nár bhain a cinneadh le "ceisteanna gearr-théarmacha." Britain has rejected the Scottish Gender Recognition Act which would have made it easier for people to legally change their gender. Dhiúltaigh an Bhreatain d'Acht Aitheantais Inscne na hAlban a chiallódh go mbeadh sé níos éasca ag daoine n-inscne a athrú de réir dlí.

According to UN analysis early this year, at the current rate, gender equality in the highest positions of power will not be reached for another 130 years. This shows just how much work is needed to create more gender-balanced and better functioning governance around the world. Here in Scotland, we have a gender-balanced cabinet and a female First Minister and a female Finance Secretary, but we know there is still much work to be done to level the playing field. In this episode, Drew talks to Hannah Bardell, MP for Livingston and Sally Donald, Edinburgh Central SNP Women's Officer about their thoughts on the role of women in politics, the challenges they face and how we go about encouraging more women to get involved in campaigning and front line politics. Polling post-referendum in 2014 indicate that women were decisive in delivering a No vote, with 57 per cent voting No, while 53 per cent of men voted Yes. Hannah, Sally, and Drew discuss changing attitudes and looking ahead to the next Independence Referendum how women are helping shape the debate. During their discussion with Drew, both Hannah and Sally talk about the challenges that face women entering politics from a grassroots level and putting themselves forward for election and political life. Their insights into the challenges women face and the benefits of more people-centric policies are thoughtful and well worth a listen. Follow Hannah on twitter here and on Facebook here.

Can Spain's divisions be settled? "It's best for Catalonia and for Spain and it's in accord with the Spanish Constitution. The government will work for understanding and not for confrontation." This is what Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez said when he announced a pardon for nine Catalan leaders serving prison sentences for their roles in Catalonia's 2017 independence referendum. But what does this move mean for Catalan and Spanish politics? I talked to Alejandro Quiroga, a research professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
