Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me, Steve Richards,

and this is the last one of the election campaign. When we all gather again around the rock and roll politics cooperative, we will be in an

utterly transformed political landscape. More about that at the end of this podcast. But thank you all

very much for tuning in for this one. And this is what we're going to do if it's okay with you.

I'm going to reflect on some of the lessons we've learned from the election campaign. I think we've learnt quite a lot, actually.

Edinburgh Festival from August the 11th, a different show every day as we kind of gather to have

some fun, but also we'll have had a bit of time

then to get a sense of how it's going and how it will go, not just obviously the new government,

but assuming it is them, the Tories and opposition, the SMP and where they are after this

election.

Loads, the media, we've got to look at the media.

They are big players in, I think, what will follow.

So, yeah, loads and loads and loads.

So get those tickets. Let's get together and have a laugh and delve deep simultaneously.

Before I get going with a few reflections on the lessons of the campaign,
