The Candidates Verdict
Sheeks Aboot Shetland – Episode 6
With less than 24 hours to go before voting starts in the 2026 Scottish Government elections, it’s neck and neck between the SNP and the LibDems. In this episode Jane and Pete share their thoughts about the candidates they have had a sheeks with since the launch of the podcast less than three weeks ago. Conspicuous by her absence is lead candidate Emma Macdonald who, unlike the other four local candidates, could not find a spare hour in her campaign schedule to speak to us. Disappointing.
