Thor Holt will be presenting the big debate at the Thistle Caledonian Hotel on the 22nd April between the four main political parties battling it out to win the seats of Aberdeen City North and South.  As first time voters and young people turned out in force for the referendum campaign, this will be a chance to find out what the parties are offering for the young professionals of Aberdeen.
