This book explores the history and ideas of the Scottish
Conservative Party since its creation in 1912. You might not
believe it now, but the Scottish Conservative Party played a
significant role in the politics of Scotland during the last
century. The party governed Scotland and the UK for much of the
20th century. But their support has nosedived from a majority of
votes and seats at the 1955 general election to just a single
constituency and 17 per cent of the vote in May 2010. This
collection brings together academics, writers, commentators and
analysts of Scottish politics to address the nature of the Scottish
Conservative Party on its centenary. They look at its standing in
Scotland, its influence on the Union, its role in the Scottish
Parliament and why it fell so out of favour with the Scottish
electorate.
