Ash Regan on the rise of Reform in Scotland, what is a woman and why ‘no-one resigns anymore’

Political Landscape Shifts in Scotland

The recent local elections have brought significant changes in the political landscape of Scotland, particularly with the emergence of new parties like Alba as challengers to established parties. Ash Regan, a leader in the Alba Party, has noted that she is in a different position than previous elections since she is now representing a smaller party amid boundary changes that have made traditional constituencies unrecognizable. This shift reflects a growing public dissatisfaction with the main parties, pushing voters toward alternatives like Reform, which has gained traction due to their fresh approach. Regan emphasizes the need for Alba to address public concerns genuinely, advocating for a clear strategy on Scottish independence and vital issues such as the cost of living.
