Its focus is on the Labour Party and the loss of its traditional electoral support base. This theme is related to religion and its relevance to Scotland's identity politics. The author examines how Labour was able to appeal across the ethno- religious divide in Scotland for many decades, before considering the impact of the new political context of devolution in the 21st century and the greater scrutiny given to the question of sectarianism in Scottish life. Walker demonstrates the role played by the sectarianism controversy in Labour's loss of political control and its eclipse by the Scottish National Party (SNP). This book is also the first to assess the significance of the Irish dimension in Scotland's political development, in particular the impact of the conflict in nearby Northern Ireland. It will appeal to students and scholars of Scottish and Irish politics, political science and political/electoral history, as well as the interested wider reader. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed May 9, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Scottish Labour Party|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n77008967|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 610 27 Scottish Labour Party.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /523116 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 Political structures: democracy.|2bicssc 650 7 Political science & theory.|2bicssc 650 7 Elections & referenda.|2bicssc 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPolitical Process|xElections.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPolitical Process|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 651 0 Scotland|xPolitics and government|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85118858|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 651 7 Scotland.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206715 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWalker, Graham S.|tLabour party in Scotland : religion, the union, and the Irish dimension. |d[London, England] : Palgrave Macmillan, ©2016|hvii, 103 pages|kPalgrave pivot.|z9781137588432 830 0 Palgrave pivot.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2012160523 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1195022|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
