Who looked most like the next first minister to you?

After the first SNP leadership TV debate, who looked most like the next minister to you? And on international women's day, is childcare working for women in Scotland?

PHONE-IN 
The three candidates vying to replace Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader have set out their plans for independence during the contest's first live TV debate.  Humza Yousaf said he wanted to build a "consistent majority" by continuing the party's radical agenda.
Kate Forbes said a new approach was needed to win over undecided voters, adding "continuity won't cut it".
Rival candidate Ash Regan said the SNP had "lost its way" and pledged to unite the broader Yes movement.
The debate was marked at points by the candidates' personal attacks on each other's political records.
Did you watch it? What did you make of it?
