Glad you have tuned in. You have obviously heard there is an election on this week.

Who is taking part?
Facing a studio audience and presenter Sarah Smith, Jackson Carlaw, Richard Leonard, Willie Rennie and Nicola Sturgeon will make their bids for your vote less than 48 hours before Scotland heads to the polls.
What happened in the last debate?
According to an online poll, the First Minister came out on top, with 87 per cent of Herald readers backing Nicola Sturgeon as the winner over Jackson Carlaw and Richard Leonard.
The Conservative and SNP leaders clashed over Mr Carlaw’s claims Ms Sturgeon and Jeremy Corbyn could “take over our country next week”.
However, the First Minister was adamant that Boris Johnson was “utterly unfit” to be PM and “must be stopped”.
Meanwhile, Ms Sturgeon and Labour leader Mr Leonard butted heads over Trident and Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie criticised the SNP’s record on the NHS.
What topics are likely to come up?
The NHS has been a hot button issue in this general election cycle, with repeated denials from the Conservative party that the national health service is under threat of being privatised in the event of a no deal Brexit.
However, the SNP have had their own issues with the service north of the border following the deaths of several patients at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow from contaminated water and the continuing fiasco of Edinburgh’s new children’s hospital.
Plenty has also been made of a potential deal between Labour and the SNP that could see a coalition government formed, should Jeremy Corbyn’s party require a leg up to take power.
And then there is the small issue of Scottish independence. Nicola Sturgeon is determined to host indyref2 next year, but none of the other parties consider that a viable plan.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
