Leanne Wood: A Blueprint from Wales?

Part 1 of our new podcast series A National Conversation for Scotland .

Following the shockwaves from the General Election result, we decided to revisit the topic of a national conversation for Scotland, starting with a fresh look at the conversation we had with Leanne Wood about the Welsh Constitutional Commission.

In this episode we revisit that conversation and consider what ideas and opportunities can be applied in Scotland too.

Main themes:

00:04:46 A healthy debate

00:10:09 A democratic revolution

00:17:39 Silence from Westminster

00:20:24 Practising for a Constitution

00:28:10 Crux of the Report

00:33:55 A Voice for the People
