Humza Yousaf: Scotland's New First Minister and Young People's Expectations

TL;DR Summary
BBC Newsbeat spoke to young people across Scotland to find out their views on some of the big issues facing new SNP leader, Humza Yousaf. While Scottish independence was a key issue for Nicola Sturgeon, many young people were more concerned about the cost of living, with one student living in a van to save on rent. Climate change was also a concern, with some calling for a transition to renewable energy. The issue of gender rights, particularly trans rights, was also discussed, with some expressing concern about the impact on women's spaces. Finally, engaging young voters was seen as a challenge for Yousaf.
