Summary
Scotlands 2026 elections are over, with a focus now on cabinet deals. Independence talks are on hold, as voters prioritize practical needs like affordable housing over military independence. Flashy promises like free school packs and price cuts are out, as voters demand a government that delivers on core issues: healthcare, education, housing, social care, and fair taxes. The new MSPs take office, pledging loyalty to the King, and will be tested on their ability to serve Scotland effectively for the next five years.
