This book examines developments in the main political parties in Scotland, in particular their electoral fortunes from the time of the First Reform Bill to the emergence of the Labour Party. It explores the way political issues impinged on the parties and how they responded to these policy demands. It also analyses the ways in which political trends in Scotland varied from the broad British pattern and discusses the reasons for this, providing an illuminating perspective that serves as a corrective to both Scoto-centric and Anglo-centric interpretations of events.
Previous studies have tended to concentrate on the resources of the main record repositories in London and Edinburgh. While these collections are indispensable for any interpretation of the period, they highlight two types of politics more than others - the political operations of the great landed estates and the 'high politics' of the front benchers - and they are not always fully representative of all parts of Scotland. This book uses a wide variety of source material in private hands and in local record centres to redress the balance and provide a more balanced picture. This scholarly but very readable study will appeal to all those with an interest in the political history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
