FMQ's Next Generation
I have just taken time to watch this special edition of Scotland Tonight with the Next Generation of voters quizzing the First Minister.
The questions the children and young people ask are eloquent, well thought out and informed. It reminds me of how proud I was of Rhona making her own informed choice about whether she wanted to live in an independent Scotland. She took time to listen to all the arguments and then mulled them over in her own mind. She then carefully took her views to the polling station and cast her vote. For her first ever vote, at 16, a privilege of young people living in Scotland, it was an important, life changing one for her.
I was proud Scotland gave her the opportunity to have a say in her own future. These children give our First Minister a grilling, and rightly so! Go the Next Gen!!!
Make a cup of tea and take time out of your day to watch this.
