Scottish CND national hustings

Peace, Economy and Environment Scottish National Hustings | 26 March 2026 What do Scotland's political leaders really think about nuclear disarmament, climate action, and environmental sustainability? Find out in this revealing and frank hustings discussion featuring: Ross Greer (Scottish Greens co-leader), Colin Fox (Scottish Socialist Party national co-spokesperson), Alex Kerr (Scottish National Party national secretary), and Sarah Boyack (Scottish Labour Party former MSP). Invitations were also extended to Scottish Tories, Scottish Lib Dems and Reform UK, none of whom turned up on the night, which leaves voters free to draw their own conclusions about what their contribution might have been. Chaired by Lynn Jamieson from Scottish CND, this in-depth conversation brings together representatives from a range of leading peace, environment, and sustainability organisations to challenge panellists on the critical issues facing Scotland—from nuclear weapons policy and renewable energy to economic justice and climate responsibility. Questions put to the panel: 00:01:35 Q1: Does your party support the aims of the TPNW? 00:08:51 Q2: Will your party maintain the ban on new nuclear power stations in Scotland? 00:18:26 Q3: Will your party commit to a public information campaign on the climate and nature emergencies? 00:27:57 Q4: Will you commit to producing all Scottish energy by renewables by 2045? 00:37:45 Q5: Does your party support UN Sustainable Development goals for Scotland? 00:46:26 Q6: What are your views on defence spending as a path to prosperity? 00:57:12 Q7: How will you make sure that Scottish public money is not given to companies linked to human rights abuses? 01:06:47 Q8: what is the role of the Scottish Government in relation to UN human rights legislation, treaties and laws?
