The National brings you our very own election night show
Looking for election night coverage that’s a little bit… different?
The National will be live streaming all night on Thursday from 10pm to bring you updates and analysis as the results roll in.
You can watch our livestream on Facebook where we’ll be chatting with pundits on the couch overnight and working to keep you up to date as each seat is announced in an election that could change the face of the UK forever.
We’ll also be looking for you to join in, with our broadcast featuring your comments overnight and updates on social media alongside the formal results.
We're broadcasting on internet radio stations on a global scale too.
Come watch and join in our first ever live election night special, this Thursday at 10pm!
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
