Extract

The relationship between the political and social attitudes of Scotland and the rest of Great Britain has long been an area of interest in Political Sociology (Dickson, 1989; Brown et al., 1999 : ch. 4). In particular since the 1974 general election, at which the Scottish National Party (SNP) placed itself firmly on the political map, there has been interest in the extent to which the four party system in Scotland not only produced different electoral statistics but also reflected and helped sustain a distinctive political culture.
