The D&E seminar series is back this Wednesday, when we welcome Ailsa Henderson (University of Edinburgh) to present her new research on "Referendums, realignment and the perception of difference: Scotland, indyref and Brexit" (abstract below).
I hope you will join us for what is sure to be a fascinating and topical talk at 3.30pm on Wednesday 19th April in the Hanson Room, Humanities Bridgeford Street.
Professor Ailsa Henderson
University of Edinburgh
Scots believe their values distinguish them from others in Britain, although most evidence suggests this claim has its limits.
On the basis of similar values, however, Scots have continually backed different options at the ballot box than voters in England and Wales.
Relying on data from the Scottish Election Study, Scottish Referendum Study and other opinion surveys,
we can identify how a subjective perception of difference helps to explain Scottish attitudes to the EU,
the reaction to the Brexit referendum and the prospects of another independence referendum.
