On May 5, the face of Scottish politics could once again shift as voters head to the poll for the country’s parliamentary elections.

We decided to give voters a flavour of the five main parties hoping to get a seat at the table in Holyrood by putting five questions to the party leaders.

Here is what Nicola Sturgeon (SNP), Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrats), Kezia Dugdale (Labour), Patrick Harvie (Greens) and Ruth Davidson (Conservatives) had to say.

Among the questions we put to them were what their main pledges were and the biggest challenges facing their respective parties.

The SNP are widely expected to chalk up another resounding victory at the ballot box, after Labour lost huge swathes of support following the Independence referendum in 2014.

Can the party repeat the near-clean sweep of the constituencies that they managed at the General Election? We will find out next month.

Transfer of new powers to Holyrood before 2017 ‘a leap of imagination’, says John Swinney
