The SNP leadership hustings started in Cumbernauld on Wednesday, kicking off a jam-packed schedule for Humza Yousaf, Kate Forbes and Ash Regan.
Those not in the room were able to watch through the SNP’s social media – after the party made a U-turn on their plans to ban media from the hustings.
The SNP initially said they wanted to create a “safe space” for debate, however now print and broadcast journalists can attend and events are being livestreamed for all to watch.

Unsurprisingly, the issue of independence has dominated hustings so far, with the leadership hopefuls outlining their plans for Scottish independence, complicated by the UK Government's refusal to grant a second referendum– despite the SNP winning every election since 2011.
The outgoing First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has not backed a successor, making the hustings a crucial opportunity for all three candidates to drum-up support.
