*I was sent an earc of this book via netgalley however this in no way influenced my opinion*
This is a book by various authors that discuss the various problems Scottish Parliament has faced in its first 20 years and what the future holds for the Parliament.
This was very informative and educational. Lots of interesting points and issues where raised about the future of parliament which was great. I loved the letters at the end of the chapters from young people across Scotland who expressed what their hopes are for Parliament in the next 20 years. This was great as I think encouraging more young people to be politically engaged is really important.
I would say that you need a bit of political knowledge to understand parts of the book as the authors just expect you to know what they are talking about.
Overall I definitely recommend especially if you are studying politics or are just interested in the subject. If you get a chance you should visit the Parliament, I visited last year and had a great time.
