This book makes a timely contribution to our understanding of the
dramatic political changes that have recently affected Scotland and
thrown into doubt the country's future position within the United
Kingdom. Its focus is on the Labour Party and the loss of its
traditional electoral support base. This theme is related to
religion and its relevance to Scotland's identity politics. The
author examines how Labour was able to appeal across the
ethno-religious divide in Scotland for many decades, before
considering the impact of the new political context of devolution
in the 21st century and the greater scrutiny given to the question
of sectarianism in Scottish life. Walker demonstrates the role
played by the sectarianism controversy in Labour's loss of
political control and its eclipse by the Scottish National Party
(SNP). This book is also the first to assess the significance of
the Irish dimension in Scotland's political development, in
particular the impact of the conflict in nearby Northern Ireland.
It will appeal to students and scholars of Scottish and Irish
politics, political science and political/electoral history, as
well as the interested wider reader.
