Description
The Referendum that Changed a Nation: An in-depth analysis of Scottish voting behaviour from 2014 to 2019. This book provides a comprehensive examination of how voters engaged with the independence referendum in 2014 and its subsequent impact on vote choice, polarisation and engagement in Scotland. Drawing on data from the Scottish Referendum Study and subsequent Scottish Election Studies, it offers a detailed analysis of the factors that influenced voter decisions, including reactions to party cues, leadership, and events. The book's eight chapters explore how voters made their choices, comparing the importance of these factors to calculations about risk. By examining the complex dynamics at play in this pivotal moment in Scottish politics, this study sheds new light on the ongoing evolution of voting behaviour in Scotland.
