Episode Details

In a bold bid to tackle Edinburgh’s housing crisis, Communist Party candidate Richard Shillcock is calling for a dramatic return to council-owned housing, arguing that private developers have failed the city’s residents. He’s pushing for large-scale, publicly managed housing projects that also create jobs through apprenticeships and council staff — echoing post-war success stories. With funding, he insists, already available — just needs to be redirected from “endless warfare” to people’s homes. Joining him in the race is fellow Communist Peter Olech, both running on platforms of public ownership, workers’ rights, and peace.
