 Hundreds of people have been given an alternative take on politics at the Scottish Parliament's 3D Festival of Debate, Film, Music and Exhibitions, which turned the famous Garden Lobby into a summer cafe bar. The Festival of Politics featured talks by figures including Vince Cable and Chris Mullin, former party special advisers and academics and policy makers, on issues ranging from American politics and polling to the refugee crisis. Well as you can hear, it's not the normal background hub-up here in the Scottish Parliament, this is a chance for everyone to engage in politics in Scotland. This year's festival partnered with the Festival of Architecture and included events focused on built space and technology. A big Lego exhibition saw a giant map of Scotland created over the three days and a family day featured Lego and other activities for children. This building is not the property of MSPs, it belongs to the people of Scotland and this is an opportunity for people to engage with thinkers, policy makers, politicians about the big issues of the day, a chance to engage in politics, which is what the Parliament is all about.
