Online event: Exclusive new polling in Scotland & Wales – a discussion about what it might mean

Event Date:

The think tanks PolicyWISE and Enlighten were delighted to host a discussion outlinig the results of new and exclusive polling in both Scotland and Wales, and what it might mean for both nations ahead of potentially disruptive elections in May. 

The polling looked at, and compared, the policy priorities of the public in both nations, what support there is for governments co-operating, attitudes towards the UK government, and much more. The polling results can be viewed here.

We had a cross-nation panel of policy, polling, and academic experts to discuss what it might all mean:

Professor Nicola McEwen, Professor of Public Policy and Governance & Director of the Centre for Public Policy, University of Glasgow.
Charlie Buckley, researcher at More in Common.
Dewi Knight, Director, PolicyWISE.

The conversation was chaired by Chris Deerin, Director of Enlighten.

This event was held over Zoom on Monday 23 February 2026. Watch it back here:
