2007年的苏格兰议会和地方选举意义重大，原因有两个：苏格兰民族党在其历史上首次上台，对拥有300年历史的苏格兰-英格兰联盟构成了根本性挑战；地方选举使用了单一可转移选票--这是自1945年以来英国首次使用这种选举制度。这本书将探索这两个发展的意义，询问它们是预示着与过去的革命性决裂，还是仅仅标志着苏格兰政治现有模式的继续演变。它使用了一个独特的证据来源--对苏格兰公众进行的具有代表性的高质量年度抽样调查，自1999年以来，该调查定期衡量苏格兰人民对权力下放的反应以及他们在选举中的表现。读者将获得无与伦比的洞察力，了解苏格兰人民在权力下放的第一个十年的身份、态度和选举行为。
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.
