Jennifer McCarron, Roza Salih, and Evelina Siwak from Drumchapel. DESPITE the name, The Herald Scottish Politician of the Year Awards are not solely about politicians. Recognising the ways that members of the public, often those thrust into extraordinary or tragic circumstances, can shake up the system is also an integral part of the event. For the passion, determination, grief and anger felt outside Parliament have always been key drivers of change within it, as parties are compelled to respond to the public mood. With the awards on pause in 2020 because of Covid, this week The Herald has been running the judges’ pick of the overall winners from the past 21 years of devolution.
