Parties jockey for power in Hamilton  by-election
Parties are vying for power in the Hamilton by-election to elect a new MSP following the death of SNP's Christina McKelvie. The race involves key players like SNP, Labour, and Reform UK, with the outcome expected to shape the political narrative in Scotland. Voter frustration with established parties is palpable, and Reform UK aims to make an impact by targeting Labour voters with policy proposals like raising the tax threshold. With less than a year until the Holyrood election, the Hamilton by-election results will be closely scrutinized by pundits to gauge voter behavior and potential outcomes for the national election.
