    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.

  • THE DEVOLVED PARTY SYSTEMS of the UNITED KINGDOM Sub-National Variations from the National Model
    PARTY POLITICS VOL 11. No.6 pp. 654–673 Copyright © 2005 SAGE Publications London Thousand Oaks New Delhi www.sagepublications.com THE DEVOLVED PARTY SYSTEMS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM Sub-national Variations from the National Model Robert E. Bohrer II and Glen S. Krutz ABSTRACT In this article we examine the emerging party systems of the devolved environments, with an eye toward shedding light on the factors that influence the number of parties in a system where parties are already mobilized but the institutional context is new. Our findings demonstrate that electoral rules have an independent effect on the number of parties. More specifically, the use of proportional representation has increased the number of parties. In addition, two social cleavage structure factors appear to affect the design of the party system: class and center– periphery. All of these forces lead to a more complex governing arrange- ment in the devolved settings than that of the United Kingdom. KEY WORDS Ⅲ cleavages Ⅲ devolution Ⅲ mixed-member proportional representa- tion Ⅲ plurality Introduction The end of the twentieth century marked a shift in the political structure of the United Kingdom (UK). In the summer of 1999, the Scottish Parliament convened for the first time in nearly 300 years, while similar institutions opened in Wales and Northern Ireland. While emanating from Westminster, the devolved institutions varied a great deal from both the British model of parliament as well as from one another, though all three continued to remain subject, to varying extents, to the functioning of the British system. The advent of sub-national government in the UK offers numerous oppor- tunities for studying the effects of varying types of institutions, the expan- sion of issue agendas and the dynamics of multi-level governance.

INTRODUCTION Le système politique en Grande-Bretagne est considéré habituellement comme l’archétype du bipartisme. Pourtant, une analyse plus poussée permet de réfuter ce constat : ce n’est pas l’émergence, ou la ré- émergence, d’une troisième force politique à partir des années soixante, à travers le renouveau libéral, et surtout des années quatre-vingt, avec les succès de l’Alliance, qui est exceptionnelle, mais c’est la domination totale des deux grands partis, Travailliste et Conservateur, culminant dans les années cinquante qui est unique (96 % des votes à eux deux lors des élections de 1951 et 1955)1. En effet, il a fallu au moins une génération pour passer de l’affrontement Conservateurs-Libéraux du XIXe siècle à l’affrontement Conservateurs- Travaillistes au XXe siècle.
