Next Scottish Parliament must focus on jobs, say campaigners ahead of results
Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, Edinburgh
THE next Scottish Parliament must focus on jobs, campaigners have demanded as votes continue to be counted from the Holyrood election.
Voters went to the ballot box yesterday to elect Scotland’s next government, with the SNP expected to retain power and reinstall Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister.
The PCS union said it hoped the public had voted with unions, colleagues and workplaces “in mind,” while the STUC called for incoming MSPs to back calls for a People’s Recovery from Covid-19 and action on jobs.
