Host Derek Bateman is joined by journalist and producer Maurice Smith as they discuss the elevation of Nicola Sturgeon to the First Ministership, and the implications for her party and Scottish politics.

A second UKIP by-election victory in England and the ongoing Labour Party crisis in Scotland set the stage for what is likely to be a lengthy and bitter campaign for the UK General Election over the next six months.
