âWEâVE GOT new young members who are really active, so it feels very different this time around,â says second-time SNP candidate Tom Wills when asked to assess the partyâs chances of ending a Liberal hegemony that has lasted since the Scottish Parliamentâs foundation.
In the August 2019 by-election to replace Liberal Democrat MSP Tavish Scott, who had held the Shetland seat for 20 years, Wills came a creditable second with 32 per cent of the vote. But to go one better this time around requires overturning a margin of nearly 2,000 votes that separated him and Scottâs successor Beatrice Wishart.
