A former member of the Scottish government takes an in-depth look at the debate over independence and the future of the United—or not—Kingdom.
In September 2014, with the Scottish independence referendum, the United Kingdom came close to being broken apart after three centuries as one of the most successful political unions in history. Yet despite a conclusive No vote, the Scottish National Party took almost every seat in Scotland at the 2015 general election.
In this book, Tam Dalyell offers a personal reflection on why the UK has been teetering on the brink of the most serious constitutional crisis in its history. But this is not just a history of why things have ended up where they are—Dalyell also offers sage advice and suggests ways forward which will inform debate as the UK evolves into a new political era.
