The Scottish parliamentary and local elections of 2007 were
significant for two key reasons: the SNP was brought to power for
the first time in its history, posing a fundamental challenge to
the 300-year Scottish-English Union; and the local elections used
the Single Transferable Vote - the first time such an electoral
system has been used in Great Britain since 1945. This book will
explore the significance of these two developments, asking whether
they herald a revolutionary break with the past or simply mark a
continuing evolution of existing patterns of Scottish politics. It
does so using a unique source of evidence - representative high
quality annual sample surveys of the Scottish public that since
1999 have regularly measured how people in Scotland have reacted to
devolution and how they have behaved in elections. Readers will
gain an unparalleled insight into the identities, attitudes and
electoral behaviour of people in Scotland during the first decade
of devolution.
