In conversation with Douglas Ross MP, Leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party

Institute for Government

In the first of a series of events with leading UK politicians in the run-up to May’s devolved and local elections, the Institute for Government was delighted to welcome Douglas Ross MP. The leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist party discussed the state of the Union, the 2021 election, how devolution might evolve over the coming years, and what he would seek to change in how Scotland is governed. Douglas Ross was in conversation with Akash Paun, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. Douglas Ross has been the MP for Moray since 2017, having previously served as a Member of the Scottish Parliament. He was elected Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party in August 2020 and is now leading the party’s campaign for the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.
