:00:32. > :00:44.We discuss who has run the best campaign.
:00:45. > :00:47.On the eve of poll, we discuss who's run the best campaign and read
:00:48. > :00:51.And Ken Macdonald's here to take our hands and lead us
:00:52. > :00:53.through the complexities of the voting system.
:00:54. > :01:04.Tomorrow night the results will flow into this studio. And the regional
:01:05. > :01:09.list MSPs will be using the Victor D'Hondt system.
:01:10. > :01:13.Tomorrow for the third time in nineteen months Scotland goes
:01:14. > :01:16.to the polls and when we're done with this one there's
:01:17. > :01:18.the Euro referendum just around the corner.
:01:19. > :01:19.So are we all suffering election fatigue?
:01:20. > :01:22.That will become clearer by this time tomorrow night
:01:23. > :01:28.You have the chance to vote on a host of new tax and welfare
:01:29. > :01:32.powers that are being devolved from Westminster to Holyrood.
:01:33. > :01:35.In a moment, we'll discuss how the parties' campaigns have gone.
:01:36. > :01:38.But first, Andrew Black on their final day trying
:01:39. > :02:14.Throughout this election campaign, the SNP has been seen as the front
:02:15. > :02:20.runner. Today Nicola Sturgeon made a final push to make sure expectation
:02:21. > :02:24.becomes reality. I am asking people to elect an SNP government with me
:02:25. > :02:28.as First Minister so we can put record sums in our health service
:02:29. > :02:34.and the government that stands up for Scotland. If you want that
:02:35. > :02:36.government, that SNP government, you cannot assume somebody else will
:02:37. > :02:44.vote for it, you have to vote tomorrow. But not everyone backs the
:02:45. > :02:49.SNP's vision for independence, something their opponents have tried
:02:50. > :02:54.to exploit. The SNP's nearest rivals, labour, face a tough
:02:55. > :02:59.election night, but leader Kezia Dugdale says her party was fighting
:03:00. > :03:04.austerity unlike others. Every single Labour MSP you send into
:03:05. > :03:09.Parliament will do that. We will get the richest 1% to pay their taxes
:03:10. > :03:14.and invest in Scotland's future by spending more money on education to
:03:15. > :03:20.ensure every child can fulfil their potential. That is what you get when
:03:21. > :03:23.you vote Labour. Snapping at Labour's heels are the
:03:24. > :03:29.Conservatives, hoping to become Holyrood's main opposition. Outside
:03:30. > :03:37.their rally a small group of protesters gathered. We stand for
:03:38. > :03:41.equality and freedom of choice. But inside the party reckons it is
:03:42. > :03:46.hitting the right note with voters. We want to be the strong opposition
:03:47. > :03:50.our country needs and deserves and we want to hold the SNP to account
:03:51. > :03:57.and to make them focus on the things that matter like schools, hospitals,
:03:58. > :04:04.public services and the economy. We've finished second tomorrow? Yes.
:04:05. > :04:09.Elsewhere the Liberal Democrats say they have been working hard to bring
:04:10. > :04:14.back the voters and they say there will be a jump in their ratings.
:04:15. > :04:18.More people are coming back to the Liberal Democrats. That is because
:04:19. > :04:22.we have a positive vision for the future. That has been the big
:04:23. > :04:29.highlight of the campaign, that we have turned the tide. The Liberal
:04:30. > :04:33.Democrats are back to their best. And the Greens are also trying to
:04:34. > :04:38.stay positive, they are hoping to increase their number of seas with
:04:39. > :04:42.an alternative offer to voters. The Greens have been successful not by
:04:43. > :04:46.standing across the chamber and pointing and saying everything they
:04:47. > :04:51.do is terrible. That does not achieve anything. We are
:04:52. > :04:54.constructive wherever we can be challenging wherever we can beat and
:04:55. > :05:00.pushing the government to go beyond its comfort zone and that has got
:05:01. > :05:04.results. Ukip is hoping to win its first seat in Holyrood. We want to
:05:05. > :05:09.make sure Scotland is open for business. People will not come here
:05:10. > :05:14.and build businesses if they are going to be overtaxed in Scotland.
:05:15. > :05:20.And said the campaign is all but over. To use that cliched phrase,
:05:21. > :05:25.To use that cliched phrase, tomorrow it really is up to you.
:05:26. > :05:29.Well, joining me now are a quartet of former political party special
:05:30. > :05:31.In Edinburgh formerly of the Liberal Democrats
:05:32. > :05:34.is Sam Ghibaldan and here in the studio for Labour
:05:35. > :05:37.is Simon Pia, for the Conservatives is Andy MacIver and for the SNP
:05:38. > :05:51.Andy McKeever, policies aside, who in your review has run the best
:05:52. > :05:57.campaign? All the campaigns have been reasonably solid. These days
:05:58. > :06:01.the most important thing is not to make any major mistakes and
:06:02. > :06:07.everybody has achieved that. They have all been relatively solid, if
:06:08. > :06:12.fairly unspectacular. None of the leaders have performed brilliantly,
:06:13. > :06:17.they have been a bit lacklustre. But the campaign is marked out more
:06:18. > :06:21.about external circumstance than anything else. Labour have had
:06:22. > :06:25.difficulties during the campaign. They are more down to events
:06:26. > :06:30.surrounding the Labour Party rather than Kezia Dugdale herself who has
:06:31. > :06:36.not made any mistakes. Is anybody head and shoulders above the rest? I
:06:37. > :06:40.think they have all been pretty solid. Kezia Dugdale has had a hard
:06:41. > :06:50.time and luck has not always been with her. Frank Field the senior
:06:51. > :06:55.Labour MP said he could see Scotland being independent and that is bad
:06:56. > :06:58.luck. There is something about that that typifies the whole labour
:06:59. > :07:02.campaign, it has been difficult for them and they have not made a huge
:07:03. > :07:07.amount of progress. I suspect they will look back at this and not be
:07:08. > :07:13.happy about the way it has gone. Would you agree? Even if Barack
:07:14. > :07:18.Obama had been a Scottish Labour leader, you would have had a very
:07:19. > :07:23.tough gig in this campaign. Kezia Dugdale was thrown into this and I
:07:24. > :07:27.think she has performed well considering everything. There have
:07:28. > :07:35.been a few glitches, she has made some mistakes, she has recognised
:07:36. > :07:39.the way the initial tax argument was presented there were a few glitches.
:07:40. > :07:44.A few silly things were known at her from the past that were irrelevant.
:07:45. > :07:49.But she dealt with it in a calm and Stuart manner which bodes well for
:07:50. > :07:54.the future. The Scottish Labour problems I'm 15 years in the making.
:07:55. > :08:01.This is the sixth leader in ten years and even if Labour is not
:08:02. > :08:03.going to win this election, but the idea of dumping Kezia Dugdale
:08:04. > :08:12.overboard is a rash decision to make. It is a trend in votes, since
:08:13. > :08:17.99 it has been going down and it is not at the bottom. It is the way the
:08:18. > :08:24.whole party is. It is not an individual fault. Talking about the
:08:25. > :08:32.SNP campaign, do you think there is a danger they might not get their
:08:33. > :08:35.vote out, the public? The SNP have had a strategically successful
:08:36. > :08:40.campaign because they have been dull, unusually for the SNP. They
:08:41. > :08:43.have been really dull because they do not want to put any energy in
:08:44. > :08:48.this campaign and they are well ahead and they want to stay ahead.
:08:49. > :08:54.You might say that as a Lib Dem I might say that. Willie Rennie has
:08:55. > :08:58.been confident in debates and he has successfully put over his key
:08:59. > :09:03.message of increasing investment in education and mental health. The
:09:04. > :09:09.other thing he has done which is a big advance for the party is he has
:09:10. > :09:13.stopped the rot. Post the UK coalition he has moved things onto
:09:14. > :09:16.the fact at least there is an acceptance of the Lib Dems again
:09:17. > :09:23.now, a kind of recognition they have something serious to say. He has had
:09:24. > :09:29.some success that way. Do you think that is true, the Lib Dems are
:09:30. > :09:34.coming back? We will know tomorrow night, but it is extremely unlikely.
:09:35. > :09:38.I think he has had a reasonably good campaign, but whether anyone is
:09:39. > :09:42.listening we will have to wait and see. I think the Liberal Democrats
:09:43. > :09:46.have still not got the trust of the Scottish people and I think tomorrow
:09:47. > :09:51.night they will get the five seats they have got. They might pick up
:09:52. > :09:58.one or two, but they will be in the same position by Friday as they are
:09:59. > :10:04.now. I would not contradict that there were only be a small increase
:10:05. > :10:10.in seats, but this is a two election strategy for Willie Rennie. As a
:10:11. > :10:13.smaller party he needs time to build recognition and public confidence.
:10:14. > :10:21.He is building a solid base to move forward through the next Parliament
:10:22. > :10:27.and into the 2021 election. What about the SNP campaign? Have we seen
:10:28. > :10:33.them plateau this time around? I think this is peak SNP. I think this
:10:34. > :10:37.is the last time we will see a majority government. I think they
:10:38. > :10:44.will be in a minority government from 2021. They are brilliant
:10:45. > :10:48.strategists and have run a good campaign. They have got a broad
:10:49. > :10:51.church from free marketeers to Marxists and they have to keep them
:10:52. > :10:59.together and they have done that in this election. Timid moves on tax,
:11:00. > :11:05.but slight moves, not enough to rock the boat for middle classes, Chuck a
:11:06. > :11:09.bit more money at public services, but no major reforms. Sam is
:11:10. > :11:13.correct, it is a pretty timid campaign. Governments always run
:11:14. > :11:21.timid campaigns, that is how you get elected. Let's keep going,
:11:22. > :11:25.everything is fine. It has been Nicola, but the other thing is do
:11:26. > :11:33.not mention Alex. And what about the Conservative campaign, Simon? We
:11:34. > :11:41.said that Ruth was going to push the SNP. The SNP campaign is all about
:11:42. > :11:47.Nicola Sturgeon, and both of them are popular people, but the Tories
:11:48. > :11:54.avoid using the word Tory and Ruth has focused on being a likeable
:11:55. > :11:58.person, and a bit of a comic. Her heavy duty photo opportunities,
:11:59. > :12:04.although she could have talked about Willie Rennie's highlight at the
:12:05. > :12:09.farm with the pigs in the background, I think the Tories and
:12:10. > :12:14.the SNP have chosen deliberately to go policy light and make it as
:12:15. > :12:19.shallow and personality lead. I am quite glad that Kezia Dugdale has
:12:20. > :12:24.done some long-term thinking positioning. Tax is one of the
:12:25. > :12:30.biggest issues of our time. It is a global issue, but it is an issue for
:12:31. > :12:35.Scotland and public spending. If Scotland ever did become
:12:36. > :12:39.independent, how would it support public services? I have been urging
:12:40. > :12:45.labour for many years to do this, confront the idea of tax, we need to
:12:46. > :12:47.raise tax in this country. We will come back to you all later in the
:12:48. > :12:50.The Belgian mathematician Victor D'Hondt gave his name
:12:51. > :12:53.to the voting system that, slightly tweaked, will help us
:12:54. > :12:57.And, added to the constituency members elected using first past
:12:58. > :13:00.the post, the D'Hondt method is what makes Holyrood
:13:01. > :13:06.But it can seem intimidatingly complex.
:13:07. > :13:08.Once our special correspondent Kenneth Macdonald
:13:09. > :13:26.So let's say you've voted in fact you voted twice, first on the lilac
:13:27. > :13:31.coloured paper, then dip each one. What happens next? The electoral
:13:32. > :13:39.system is made up of two types of election. It is the first past the
:13:40. > :13:45.post system, and the additional members, the regional list members
:13:46. > :13:48.of which there are 56, they are divided into eight electoral regions
:13:49. > :13:54.and the proportionality comes from that part of the electoral system.
:13:55. > :13:58.In the end you finish up with the allocation of seats, the 129, which
:13:59. > :14:02.reflects more at the percentage of vote obtained by the party. Let's
:14:03. > :14:09.create an imaginary electoral region. The lilac ballot papers have
:14:10. > :14:20.been counted and seven constituency MSPs had been elected the first past
:14:21. > :14:24.the post. Party for my not have any members. This is where the peach
:14:25. > :14:30.coloured ballot papers come into play. There are seven more seats up
:14:31. > :14:34.for grabs here. The vote across the region for each party or individual
:14:35. > :14:39.are tarted up and on the face of it it looks good for party to you
:14:40. > :14:45.again, but the first past the post method has given them more MSPs in
:14:46. > :14:50.the constituency. In comes the D'Hondt method. We already have 723
:14:51. > :14:56.macro that under the additional member system is divided by the
:14:57. > :15:01.number of MSP they have thus one. When they do that it is party member
:15:02. > :15:05.for it comes out on top and the candidate at the top of its list
:15:06. > :15:09.becomes an MSP. The six remaining seats on the list it is the same
:15:10. > :15:14.again, but in the calculation each time because the total number of
:15:15. > :15:18.MSPs on who they represent changes every time you go through the
:15:19. > :15:23.process. In our example, that means defining tally looks a lot different
:15:24. > :15:27.from when we started, depending on when you it may be even more
:15:28. > :15:33.complex. So why do we divide the number of list votes by the number
:15:34. > :15:37.of MSPs plus one? That is because some parties may not have won a
:15:38. > :15:41.constituency seat. Some constituencies and parties are only
:15:42. > :15:44.standing on the list so if you try to work at the share of the vote he
:15:45. > :15:51.would be dividing by the number of MSPs that they had, which is zero,
:15:52. > :15:59.and you can't do that. Despite that, at the end of it all, it should seem
:16:00. > :16:06.straightforward. Huge logistical challenges. 32 returning officers,
:16:07. > :16:10.it regions, four million and lack tours. At ten o'clock the polls will
:16:11. > :16:14.close and they start pointing straightaway. Some are very compact
:16:15. > :16:21.counting areas, some of the size of Belgium, someone not the last a la
:16:22. > :16:25.boxes until 2am in the morning into the centre depending on aeroplanes,
:16:26. > :16:29.ships, fog in the channels, everything you can think of them
:16:30. > :16:35.come into play on election night. In our imaginary region we have voted
:16:36. > :16:37.for team MSPs. They will have equal status but never where they get to
:16:38. > :16:43.Holyrood. Now Ken's cleared all that up,
:16:44. > :16:46.this chat will make much more sense. We're joined now by the pollster's
:16:47. > :16:48.pollster, psephologist extraordinaire Professor John
:16:49. > :17:00.Curtice, from our London studio. Good evening. We started this
:17:01. > :17:07.campaign with the SNP way out in front. Looking at the polls, has
:17:08. > :17:11.anything changed for them? The truth is, only a little bit has changed
:17:12. > :17:20.for any of the parties. There has been in the last couple of goals
:17:21. > :17:26.that suggests that maybe the SNP vote has slipped a bit. We thought
:17:27. > :17:31.at the beginning of the campaign the SNP might do better than they did 12
:17:32. > :17:44.months ago, maybe now we are not quite so sure. The second movement,
:17:45. > :17:49.well, probably Labour's voters is... The truth is I don't think any of us
:17:50. > :17:53.knows, the pipe with Davison's apparent self-confidence about who
:17:54. > :17:57.will come second. The failure of the Labour campaign is the fact they
:17:58. > :18:01.have not shaken the Conservatives of the tail and therefore we are not
:18:02. > :18:08.sure he is going to end up second. The Greens have had a good campaign.
:18:09. > :18:11.They are probably favourites to come forth over the Liberal Democrats,
:18:12. > :18:18.although the Liberal Democrats will probably hold that they have got.
:18:19. > :18:24.One area where the opinion polls tend to be relatively weaker is in
:18:25. > :18:28.estimating the list vote. When you go out to the polling centres and
:18:29. > :18:35.asked people how they are going to vote, then he asked how they are
:18:36. > :18:39.going to vote on the second ballot, I think sometimes people named the
:18:40. > :18:47.second preference. One of the pollsters changed their questions
:18:48. > :18:54.and drop the word second, suddenly the polling for the Greens was about
:18:55. > :18:59.4% less. Who will come second? Not sure. Who will come forth? Not sure.
:19:00. > :19:04.Tomorrow night the great excitement will be the list vote. The list vote
:19:05. > :19:08.at the end of the day is the one above all that determines the number
:19:09. > :19:13.of seats that a party gets. Given that we are thinking that the SNP
:19:14. > :19:18.might well scoop up every constituency seat in much the way
:19:19. > :19:22.that they did 12 months ago for Westminster, frankly everybody else,
:19:23. > :19:27.the Liberal Democrats, Greens, labour and the Conservatives will be
:19:28. > :19:32.primarily, if not wholly dependent, on what they get on the list vote.
:19:33. > :19:36.Some of the opinion polls say that maybe labour is ahead in the
:19:37. > :19:39.constituencies for a second, but maybe the Conservatives will be
:19:40. > :19:51.ahead on the list. It is who is ahead on the list will be crucial.
:19:52. > :19:57.It has been called the tax election. Abu has been the defining issues for
:19:58. > :20:02.the voters? No, not the defining issues for the voters, but they have
:20:03. > :20:06.been for the parties. They marked this election night and it has
:20:07. > :20:10.enabled voters to become aware that the Scottish parliament is getting
:20:11. > :20:14.more in the wake of crucial tax powers. The big differences between
:20:15. > :20:18.the parties on tax from Labour on one end and the Conservatives on the
:20:19. > :20:23.other, but the truth is that we have to remember that Scott Scottish
:20:24. > :20:28.electoral politics was reshaped by the referendum 18 months ago. An
:20:29. > :20:32.increased the level of support for independence and that meant that
:20:33. > :20:34.whereas he had a GOP were in favour of independence she were more likely
:20:35. > :20:40.to vote for the SNP but were not guaranteed to do so, now you're
:20:41. > :20:48.almost guaranteed to do so. It is 5% of the people who voted yes said
:20:49. > :20:52.they will vote for the SNP. It is pretty clear there are a lot of
:20:53. > :20:56.people out there who voted yes to independence, they said they will
:20:57. > :20:59.vote for the SNP and they will do so even though they are probably closer
:21:00. > :21:05.to the Labour Party on the question of tax. Labour have not succeeded in
:21:06. > :21:08.making the tax issue significantly important for these voters for them
:21:09. > :21:12.to switch back from the SNP to the Labour Party.
:21:13. > :21:18.So, Simon, Sam and the two Andys are still with me.
:21:19. > :21:25.Why has not Labour managed to punch through on the tax issue? Labour
:21:26. > :21:32.should have been a bit bolder on the tax issue. I know that to Andys is
:21:33. > :21:37.probably disagree with me. Raising taxes kryptonite and so on, but I
:21:38. > :21:43.think we are living in changing times. For the top rate of tax
:21:44. > :21:48.Labour could have afforded to have been bolder. It was too little too
:21:49. > :21:53.late in my view to clearly define the difference that Labour is a
:21:54. > :21:56.party of the left. Did they get the presentation right? The rebate
:21:57. > :22:01.issue? That was a problem but I think that is part of the pressure
:22:02. > :22:08.that the Labour Party is under. The trauma of what happened in 2015, it
:22:09. > :22:14.is not even a full year yet and the impact that is sad on the party, and
:22:15. > :22:20.the lack of funds. The SNP are the richest party by a Scotland. Labour
:22:21. > :22:34.is the poor person of Scottish politics. The impact that has on the
:22:35. > :22:40.party UK wide. Labour should have set up a think tank a few years ago
:22:41. > :22:48.to hammer out economic policies, but more importantly, I know it was part
:22:49. > :22:53.in the selection, but Labour has to face up to the Constitution because
:22:54. > :22:59.it is key issue in Scottish politics now. It is about identity politics,
:23:00. > :23:04.argue and nationalist or a Unionist? It is far clearer defined for the
:23:05. > :23:08.two gentlemen on the right than it is for Labour supporters. Labour
:23:09. > :23:13.must confront it. I think there should be a fully autonomous
:23:14. > :23:18.Scottish Labour Party. I believe that the United Kingdom is this
:23:19. > :23:23.going to see even more constitutional change. Even when we
:23:24. > :23:27.get the next monarch. The are tectonic plates shifting all over
:23:28. > :23:33.the place. Is that something that the Lib Dems have to think about?
:23:34. > :23:40.The Lib Dems already have a federal judge so that is not an internal

:27:10. > :27:11.to minority and coalition governments and I don't think we

:27:50. > :27:52.overplayed. Even if there is a Brexit vote, people in Scotland will
:27:53. > :27:55.take a view based on the circumstances that they have a bad
:27:56. > :28:00.time and it doesn't necessarily mean that it will push people further
:28:01. > :28:04.towards independence. I don't think there will be an independence
:28:05. > :28:08.referendum within the next term. I don't think Nicola Sturgeon wants
:28:09. > :28:14.one for a second. Brexit will change the game and it will change the
:28:15. > :28:17.way... People will decide again on the economy. I don't think Brexit
:28:18. > :28:23.means necessarily will be pushed towards a yes vote. Tax will be the
