ECONOMICS expert Richard Murphy will be interviewing representatives of Scotland’s three biggest pro-independence parties in a new series with The National.
The video interviews will be with spokespeople with responsibility for the economy in Alba, the Scottish Greens and the SNP.
Respectively – and coming amid fierce UK General Election campaigning – these will be Neale Hanvey, Ross Greer and Drew Hendry.
National readers will have a chance to put their questions to the trio. All you have to do is post these in the comments section of this article.
Murphy (above) is a regular contributor to The National and an economic justice campaigner.
He will be grilling the trio with his own questions in addition to those posed by our readers.
You will be able to view the video interviews on The National’s website, YouTube account and on our other social channels.
The National’s editor Laura Webster (above) said: “Our readers regularly highlight to us that they value coverage of economic matters – and Richard is the perfect candidate to grill these three parties.
“As Scotland’s pro-independence newspaper, we’re sure you’ll be putting questions to them that others would not.
“These interviews will be must-watch and we’re keen to see how each party responds to the big questions being asked.”
Leave your questions in the comments below and we'll be putting a selection to the interviewees...
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
