In the depth of crisis, we have looked to and trusted our own government and Parliament to steer us through. We should do the same now as we look to rebuild for the long term. If we want to make sure the country we rebuild is the one we want it to be, with kindness, compassion, fairness, equality and enterprise at its heart, then we must work to the right plan, with all the tools we need to do the job. #BothVotesSNP 3 Next steps 01.

  • Stewart2019.Pdf
    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

This will replace SDP1 which was approved by Scottish Ministers on 27 June 2013. The Main Issues Report (MIR) has been produced as the first step in the plan preparation process and is required to be accompanied by a Monitoring Statement (MS). 1.2 The purpose of a MS is to monitor and report the principal changes to the physical, economic, social, and environmental characteristics of the SDP area and the impact of the policies and proposals of the existing plan. As the MIR is being produced within two years of the approved plan, comparisons will be drawn to years pre-dating the approval of the SDP. 1.3 This MS assesses the performance of SDP1, the extent to which its aims have been realised, and identifies any obstacles that have impeded delivery. It sets out a framework of indicators for monitoring the performance of the SDP. As Local Development Plans (LDPs) and other strategies reflecting SDP1 are still to be implemented, the extent to which we can assess progress towards the delivery of the strategy is limited. 1.4 Following the approval of SDP1 all member Local Authorities are preparing their LDPs which are required to comply with SDP1.
