Reform UK makes history in Scotlands Parliament election, securing five seats outright under leader Malcolm Offord. They nearly won a constituency in Banffshire and Buchan Coast, falling short by just 364 votes. Reform dominated regional lists, boosting their Holyrood presence with newcomers Helen McDade, Julie MacDougall, Angela Ross, Duncan Massey, and Mark Simpson. Offord lost his constituency but aims for a West Scotland list spot. With tax cuts, spending cuts, and stricter immigration rules, Reform aims to rival the SNP as the top opposition force.
