Scottish election campaign LIVE as voters say ‘meh’ ahead of STV leaders’ debate
It’s already being dubbed the most “meh” election of recent times. Scots are reportedly tuning out or turning off the 2026 Holyrood election campaign amid disillusionment with the cost of living and the answers on offer from the big parties.
With just over a week to go until polling day on May 7, polling experts are warning turn-out could be low as voters shrug their shoulders.
Luke Tryl of polling firm More in Common said yesterday: “Fom a series of focus groups on Scotland, the thing that jumped out was this was possibly the most unenthusiastic or “meh” I’ve ever experienced people be about their choices in an election.”
With that in mind, the leaders of Scotland’s big parties will face each other tonight for the final live TV debate of the Holyrood campaign. Will it make any difference, or have voters already made up their minds?
