State of Scottish democracy: ERS

ERS Scotland is proud to host the inaugural State of Scottish Democracy lecture. Is Scottish democracy healthy at a local and national level? How can decision-making and debate be enhanced, and how can we grow the role of citizens in shaping Scottish politics? Join us for what is set to be a compelling evening as we delve into these issues and many more with our guest speaker Professor James Mitchell.

James is one of Scotland’s leading experts on the constitution, devolution, the Scottish Parliament and Government. He is a regular contributor and commentator in the Scottish media. He is currently working on publications drawn from studies of the Scottish independence referendum, Scottish elections, the surge in SNP and Green Party membership, local governance and the politics of fiscal policy.
