Scotland is heading towards an election, with various issues affecting the country. The Reform party is projected to do well, potentially becoming the official opposition, due to public dissatisfaction with establishment parties and immigration policies. The Scottish government argues that more immigrants are needed due to population decline, but this ignores deeper issues like the falling birthrate and exodus of young Scots. The economy is also a concern, with the SNP's policies criticized for being economically illiterate. The clash between Malcolm Offord and Ross Greer in an STV leaders debate highlighted the issue of wealth distribution. Scotland's population is 600,000 short of where it should be, with 650,000 abortions since the 1967 Abortion Act. In Glasgow, 43% of applicants for homelessness support between April and September 2025 were from people with refugee status or leave to remain.
