  1. Report
  2. Beyond the ballot box. Scotland’s relationship with the SNP.

Beyond the ballot box.

A polling report on what Scottish voters expect from government, and what that means for business, investment and political engagement.

Scotland’s 2026 election returned an SNP Government for a fifth consecutive term, but our polling reveals public support is far more nuanced than the make-up of the Scottish Parliament suggests. From growth and housing to energy and infrastructure, voters are backing policies that deliver visible local benefits, economic opportunity and stronger public services.

Download the report to understand where public support is strongest, where it is conditional, and how organisations can align their political engagement strategies with the priorities of the Scottish public.
