The Scottish Electorate The 1997 General Election and Beyond

'The Scottish Electorate is a fascinating and authoritative study of Scottish politics in the momentous year that saw the near elimination of conservative Scotland and the decisive steps taken to establish the first Scottish Parliament for three centuries. As the first election to that Parliament draws ever closer, this snapshot of the electorate in its most recent times of decision will be of compelling interest to all who are curious about or interested in its next decision.' - Neil MacCormick, Professor of Public Law, University of Edinburgh

'The definitive study of what Scots think about politics as devolution approaches. Essential reading for all those interested in either the future of Scotland or the future of the UK.' - John Curtice, Professor of Politics, University of Strathclyde and co-director of the ESRC Centre for the Study of Elections and Social Trends
