 The Scottish Parliament's Presiding Officer in miniature lego form as the programme for this year's festival of politics is unveiled. This year's summer line-up in Holyrood explores the building blocks of democracy, featuring talks, panel discussions, free access to a cafe bar in the garden lobby and, for the first time, family events like the construction of a giant lego map of Scotland. Well this year the theme of the festival of politics is the architecture of democracy and hopefully it will have something for everyone. We've got the American presidential elections, we've got how to be a spin doctor, we've got interviews with Vince Cable, but we'll also have fun for all the family. We've got a lego map of Scotland. It's the idea of building democracy one step at a time. The festival of politics runs from Thursday 18th of August until Saturday 20th of August. You can find the full festival programme on our dedicated website, including information on how to book tickets.
