Series 1

Stand-up and podcast host Marc Jennings gets into Scottish politics in the run-up to the Holyrood election. Everyone says voting matters, but no one really explains why! So, Marc’s going to ask. Not as an expert. Not as a journalist. But as a comedian with a genuine curiousity. He’s determined to get under the skin of the people and parties shaping Scotland right now.
The power is in the hands of the people ahead of the big vote. Marc’s just interested enough in politics to wonder why there’s so much public disinterest. Taking on the role of “everyman”, Jennings wonders why some people are scunnered, and what the parties offer you if you do decide to vote.
Marc hears contrasting views from party spokes-folks wearing very different shades of rosette. Plus, for all-important expert input, Marc consults the Gandalf of Graphs – political analyst Professor Sir John Curtice.
Covering huge issues, divisive topics, policy points, outlandish claims, crucial context, manifesto pledges, daft tangents, key info and satirical gags in the white-hot heat of the battle of the ballot.
One man doing his best to get to the heart of why these people want your “X”.
